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 friction

N = Normal force


fmax = cN = limiting friction



Although 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 definition of kinetic?

Friction generated between two dry surfaces in contact during motion. Kinetic frictionis a product of the coefficient of kinetic friction and the normal reaction force. It assumes a constant value regardless of the amount of applied force or the speed of the motion. Its value is always less than the limiting friction between the same two surfaces.


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 ?


What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the 13.0kg wooden crate and the horizontal force of 31N of the floor?

The coefficient of kinetic friction can be calculated using the formula: coefficient of kinetic friction = force of kinetic friction / normal force. The force of kinetic friction can be found using the formula: force of kinetic friction = coefficient of kinetic friction * normal force. Given the force of 31N and normal force equal to the weight of the crate (mg), you can calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction.


What is the coefficient of friction for talcum powder.?

The coefficient of friction for talcum powder can vary depending on the surfaces it is in contact with. On average, talcum powder has a low coefficient of friction due to its fine, powdery texture. It is commonly used to reduce friction between surfaces.

Is the coefficient of friction constant in this scenario?

In this scenario, the coefficient of friction is constant if the surfaces in contact and the conditions remain the same.


What is limiting angle of friction?

The limiting angle of friction is the maximum angle at which an object can rest on a surface without sliding due to friction. It is determined by the coefficient of static friction between the object and the surface. When the angle of inclination exceeds this limiting angle, the object will start to slide.


Is static friction and limiting friction the same?

Limiting friction is the case of static friction where an object is right on the edge of moving, any more force applied to the object will cause it to move. Limiting friction is the largest value that the static friction can take


Is the coefficient of friction the same as when the block was standing on its larger (or smaller) end?

No, the coefficient of friction can vary based on the contact surface area and material properties of the block. When the block is standing on its larger (or smaller) end, the contact surface area and the weight distribution changes, which can affect the coefficient of friction.


Can the coefficient of static friction be equal to the coefficient of kinetic friction?

No, the coefficient of static friction is typically greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction.


State laws of limiting friction?

1. the direction of force of friction is always opposite to the direction of motion.. 2. the magnitude of limiting friction depends upon the nature and state of polish of the two surfaces in contact and acts tangentially to the interface between them.. 3. the magnitude of limiting friction 'F' is directly proportional to normal reaction 'R' between the two surfaces in contact.. 4. the magnitude of limiting friction is independent of area and shape of surfaces in contact as long as the normal reaction remains the same..


How does the coefficient of static friction for two surfaces in contact compare to the coefficient of kinetic friction for the same two surfaces?

The coefficient of static friction is always larger because it takes more initial force to move an object that is at rest.


What happens to coefficient of friction when weight of body is doubled?

If the weight of a body is doubled, the coefficient of friction does not change. The coefficient of friction is a constant for a given pair of materials and surfaces, and it does not depend on the weight of the body.


How are fricition and force related?

Friction is a force and is the result of any force acting on a object. It is usually associated with two sliding objects or an object sliding across a plane. When a force is exerted on an object an opposing force is created by friction. The opposing force is equal to the exerted force until the exerted force exceeds the limiting friction. The limiting friction is determined by the coefficient of friction between the two surfaces and the "weight" of the object. To put it another way, imagine pushing a sheet of sandpaper across a rubber mat, which would have a high coefficient of friction. The weight of the sandpaper is minimal so the limiting friction is rather small. Now put a 5kg weight on the sandpaper and it becomes much more difficult to get the sandpaper to slide. Max friction = μ.N μ = coefficient of friction N = Normal force("weight")
