Which of the following statements regarding laws governing the friction between dry surfaces are correct? 1. The friction force is dependent on the velocity of sliding.  2. The friction force is directly proportional to the normal force. 3. The friction force is dependent on the materials of the contact surfaces. 4. The Friction force is independent of the area of contact surfaces. Correct Answer 2, 3 and 4

CONCEPT:

Law of limiting friction:

  • The limiting friction depends on the nature of the surfaces in contact and their state of polish.
  • The limiting friction acts tangential to the two surfaces in contact and in a direction opposite to the direction of motion of the body.
  • The value of limiting friction is independent of the area of the surface in contact so long as the normal reaction remains the same.
  • The limiting friction is directly proportional to the normal reaction R between the two surfaces.

EXPLANATION:

The force of solid friction

1. Is directly proportional to normal force between the two surfaces

2. Opposes the motion between the surfaces

3. Depends upon the material of the two surfaces

4. Is independent of the area of contact

5. Is independent of the velocity of sliding.

Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.
True, It is the function of the army to maintain law and order in abnormal times. But in normal times there is another force that compels citizens to obey the laws and to act with due regard to the rights of others. The force also protects the lives and the properties of law abiding men. Laws are made to secure the personal safety of its subjects and to prevent murder and crimes of violence. They are made to secure the property of the citizens against theft and damage to protect the rights of communities and castes to carry out their customs and ceremonies, so long as they do not conflict with the rights of others. Now the good citizen, of his own free will obey these laws and he takes care that everything he does is done with due regard to the rights and well-being of others. But the bad citizen is only restrained from breaking these laws by fear of the consequence of his actions. And the necessary steps to compel the bad citizen to act as a good citizen are taken by this force. The supreme control of law and order in a State is in the hands of a Minister who is responsible to the State Assembly and acts through the Inspector General of Police.
