Friction is a force that opposes motion. Maximum friction is the?æ force that must be overcome in order for a body to start moving.?æ Maximum friction is equal to the?æ product of normal force and coefficient of the friction.

Is coefficient of friction or coefficient of limiting friction are same?

Limiting friction is just the maximum static friction force (if you go over that point static friction becomes kinetic friction).Let f = frictional force,c = coefficient of frictionN = Normal forcefmax = cN = limiting frictionAlthough the term coefficient of limiting friction is not really used, I'd assume it would just be "c" (it's a coefficient after all). So they would be the same.If you meant is coefficient of friction the same as limiting friction, than the answer is no. Coefficient of friction is just the "c" in the equation. Limiting friction however is the product of the coefficient and the normal force.


What is the maximun coefficient of friction between two surfaces?

friction is the resisting force which oppose the relative motion of two body.cofficient of friction is the ratio of frictional force and normal force of body on surface.thus maximum cofficient of friction defiend as ratio of maximum frictional force or minimum normal force on the surface.


What is maximum friction?
