RRB Junior Engineer / DMS / CMA 2019 · Question 3552 of 3719

Limiting force of friction is the

  1. ARatio of limiting friction and normal reaction
  2. BFriction force acting when the body is just about to moveCorrect
  3. CTangent of angle between normal reaction and the resultant of normal reaction and limiting friction
  4. DFriction force acting when the body is in motion

Answer: B. Friction force acting when the body is just about to move

Explanation

Explanation: As the force is applied to the body the friction force acts on the body which will be opposite to the applied force. ⇒ ​ = T ​1 T ​2 ​ ( v ​2 v ​1 ) γ−1 ⇒ ​ = T ​4 T ​3 ​ = ( v ​3 v ​4 ) γ−1 ​ ( v ​2 v ​1 ) γ−1 As the value of P is going on increasing, at some stage the solid body will be on the verge of motion. The friction force corresponding to this stage is called the limiting force of friction. Important Points Law of limiting friction for dry surfaces: When two bodies are in contact, the direction of the force of friction on one of them is opposite to the direction in which this body has the tendency to move The frictional force is independent of the area of contact of the surfaces When one body is just on the point of sliding over the other body, the maximum force of friction is being exerted, This is called the limiting friction The force of friction is dependent upon the type of materials of the two bodies in contact The limiting frictional force is proportional to the normal force that acts between the bodies in contact The ratio of frictional force to the normal reaction is constant and is known as the coefficient of friction i.e. μ = F/N Limiting static friction is somewhat greater than the kinetic friction The kinetic friction is independent of the relative velocity of the bodies in contact
