Statement (I): The excavation of side slope of a irrigation canal for claying type of soil should be made at 1 : 1 (i.e. 1 horizontal to 1 vertical) which is taken as nearly equal to the angle of internal friction of the soil. Statement (II): The angle of internal friction represents the stable slope when the excavated soil, or soil in loose conditions, assumes when dumped in situ.

Which of the following is NOT true about Frictional force? A. Friction is the force which opposes the relative motion of two surfaces in contact. B. The force of friction that acts when a body is moving (sliding) on a surface is called sliding friction. C. Friction in machines wastes energy and also causes wear and tear. D. Rolling friction is much more than sliding friction, the use of ball bearings in a machine considerably reduces friction.
