Partly, and also due to the pressure that the knott is under once pulled tight.

Does a shoelase stay tied without friction?
no, they untie because of the force and friction between them
Do shoe laces use friction to stay tied up?
Yes.
How is friction beneficial and detrimental?
Although friction slows many things down, and makes machines less efficent, we would have a hard time if there was no friction. Your shoelaces would not stay tied- but that would not matter, since you could not walk if your feet had no friction with the ground- nor could you drive a car- which would be good, since the brakes would not work. You would probably starve since you could not pick up a drink, or food.
A mass is tied to a string and the string is held in the hand we should move our hand but the mass should not ocillate how to do it?
Friction and gravity.
What is the difference between gyro and directional gyro?
The term Gyro refers to any Gyroscope (Space,Earth,Tied or Rate) whereas Directional Gyro is typically a Tied Gyro which is used in Aircraft for the purpose of Heading reference in DGI (Directional Gyro indicator) because it does not suffer any errors like magnetic compass.

What is a way not mentioned that friction is helpful?
Allows a car to stop, allows you to walk, your shoelaces to stay tied, nuts to stay on bolts, nails to stay in wood, and allows you to pick up a glass. It also helps keep your pants from falling off.

Why did the students tie their shoelaces together?

Why is it easier to tie a knot with cotton strings as compared to silk strings?
The whole goal with a knot is to create as much friction between each of the strings as possible. The greater the friction, the better the knot will hold. Silk string is very smooth as compared to the cotton string. So the friction produced when a cotton string is tied in a knot is greater than that when a knot tied with silk string. That is why a knot tied with cotton string will hold better than a knot tied with silk string.
