The contact area hardly affects the frictional force. The frictional force depends on the normal force, and the coefficient of friction, which is a property you have to look up (or measure) for every pair of materials.

Does the frictional force depend on the area of surface contact?
No. Frictional force is independant of surface area.
How does friction force between two surface depends on based on area of contact?
For more area their will be more contect of the body with the surface which cause the motion of body restricted.
What are two factors affect the force of friction?
The 2 factors on which friction two body is depended uponThe mass of the body,the coefficient of Static or limiting or dynamic friction( as the case may be)Gravity too.
What are two main factors on which force of friction depends?
Surface area and downward force (most of the time gravity)
What are all factors affecting frictional force?
Mass, the bearing surface (how much weight on what surface area), and a "coefficient of friction", a measure of how rough or smooth the surface is.
Does the frictional force depend on the area of surface contact?
No. Frictional force is independant of surface area.
Is friction independent of the area of contact?
Generally no. The friction force is typically assumed independent of surface area, and proportional to the force between the two objects. By changing the contact area, you are changing how that force is concentrated. i.e. a small surface area means that your force is distributed across a small region, creating a high pressure (force/area) at the contact. By increasing the surface area, you distrubte that force and lower the pressure. This is, however, an idealization and can break down in some instances.
How does weight and surface area affect the frictional force?
As mass increases Surfaces area increase so the gravitational force increase so the friction increase...............
What two factors that affect the amount of friction between two surfaces?
The magnitude of the frictional force is directly proprotional to the normal reaction between the two surfaces.(2)Magnitude of the frictional force is independent of shape and area of the surfaces

Why skis have large area of contact with snow?
larger area of contact will mean larger area for the pressure to spread. and less force will be exerted per unit area of the snow. hence the snow will remain intact underneath keeping the ground stable
What are two main factors on which force of friction depends?
Surface area and downward force (most of the time gravity)
Which is more likely to cause damage to a wooden floor a basketball player in athletic shoes or a sports reporter stainding in high heels?
the reporter because there is more pressure being applied to a smaller floor contact area. the pressure exerted depends on the area of contact. the smaller the area of contact the greater the pressure. for equations use this: Pressure= force/ area force will usually have a variable of N and area will be a unit of measurement
When the contact area is doubled keeping the force acting on the body constant the pressure?
when the contact area is doubled keeping the force constant on the boy, there will be less impact on the body .
Friction can be both what and what?
A frictional force (given by g(x,y,z) = arcsinwt + volume/dispersive Force) and an introvertial force (given by I = 4-dimensional area/ combination of n,m random variables squared).
Is the pressure exerted by a brick on its side or end more or less?
It is if a brick rests on a table the force with which the brick pushes on the table is its weight. The pressure it exerts on the contact area depends on the brick's orientation. If the contact area between brick and table is larger, the brick exerts less pressure on the contact area.
