FRICTION MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS (MCQ) WITH ANSWERS

FRICTION MULTIPLE CHOICE

QUESTIONS (MCQ) WITH

ANSWERS 

 MCQ increases the level of understanding

and clarity. Friction is the resistance

offered to motion of one body upon

another body. Frictional force is always

parallel to the surface of contact. It

depends upon the surface roughness.

Friction is a shear force. There are two

types of friction. Static friction develops

between the surfaces of contact of

two bodies at rest when force applied is

insufficient to move the body. The force of

friction between two bodies in motion is

dynamic friction. In the absence of a

lubricant, friction is called solid friction.
