Limiting friction occurs when the moving force and the force opposing motion are equal; any addition to the moving force will cause slipping. The limiting frictional force is proportional to the normal reaction between the contacting surfaces and is independent of the area of contact.

What is example of limiting friction?

Examples of Limiting Friction

Friction force applied by upstream water to a swimmer. Friction force on a pen by a page or notebook. Moving an object on the ground. A car parked on a hill will not slide down.

What is limiting friction Ncert 11?

- Hint: In equilibrium , limiting force of friction between two conducting surfaces is equal and opposite to the applied force . so, when a force applied on the body t rest , to put it in motion at that time the minimum force is required to make the body slide or move , is called limiting friction.
