What determines the size of a frictional force?
The size of the normal force and coefficient of friction determines the size of frictional force.
Will frictional force depends on mass and density?
Frictional force depends on the contact force and on the coefficient of friction. The coefficient of friction depends on the types of materials in contact; the contact force may depend on mass, if it is caused by gravity.
What is the function of coefficient of static friction?
This coefficient of static friction is needed to find the frictional force between a body and a surface on which body has to move. If u (mu) is the coefficient of friction then uR gives the frictional force between moving body and surface. There is no unit for coefficient of friction. Here R is reaction which equals to the weight of the body
Can a coefficient of friction be equal to zero?
No , coefficient of friction can not be zero. if it is zero then there will be no frictional force between two bodies.And in our universe these types of object didnot exit.
Does the frictional force depends on the contact area?
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.

If normal force is dobledwhat happens to friction?
Frictional force gets doubled. But coefficient of friction does not change
A hockey puck has a coefficient of kinetic friction of mk .1-. if the puck feels a normal force (fn) of 5N what is the frictional force that acts on the puck?
This type of problems about friction are extremely simple: You just multiply the normal force by the coefficient of friction to get the frictional force.

How do you calculate friction equals coefficient of friction X normal force when frictional force and coefficient force are variables not given?
Friction= (coefficient of friction)(normal reaction) If you don't have the friction or the coefficient of it I'm sure you must have been given something else. Could you add the exact question to the discussion ?

No , coefficient of friction can not be zero. if it is zero then there will be no frictional force between two bodies.And in our universe these types of object didnot exit.

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.
Does the frictional force depend on the type of surface in contact?
Yes. Different substances have a different coefficient of 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.
