In the explanation of the theory of friction over which conservative forces were acted upon, the block used to have an assumption. That is the upper portion of the block is considered to be rigid.

In the explanation of the theory of friction over which conservative forces were acted upon, the block used to have an assumption. That is the upper portion of the block is considered to be rigid. Correct Answer False

The block used to explain the theory of friction is placed on a deformable surface. As we know that the theory of friction says that when there is no lubricating fluid present between the surfaces in contact, the dry friction occurs. Thus to show the same, experiments are done over a non-rigid/deformable surface which is having a rigid shape.

For the conditions of the equilibrium of the body, i.e. the rigid body only the external conservative forces defines the equilibrium. Because the internal conservative forces cancels out so not to be considered.
