To explain the statement "The magnitude of frictional force can never be greater than the magnitude of external force acting on a body," we can break it down step by step with a suitable example. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Friction**: - Friction is a force that opposes the relative motion between two surfaces in contact. There are two types of friction: static friction (when an object is at rest) and kinetic friction (when an object is in motion). 2. **Static Friction Example**: ...
