### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Friction**: Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object when it is in contact with another surface. It arises due to the interlocking of surface irregularities. 2. **Surface Irregularities**: Every surface, whether rough or smooth, has irregularities. These irregularities can interlock with the irregularities of another surface when they come into contact. 3. **Effect of Rough Surfaces**: - Rough surfaces have more pronounced irregularities. ...
