The angle between the resultant contact force and the normal force exerted by a body on the other is called the angle of friction. Show that, if λ be the angle of friction and μ the coefficient of static friction,
Let us consider, the frictional force to be f,
The applied force= F
Normal reaction= R
Coefficient of friction force =
When the force applied on the body increases, the force of friction also increases. It increases up to limiting friction .
Before reaching to the limiting friction
