Question

Limiting force of friction is the

A.

Ratio of limiting friction and normal reaction

B.

Friction force acting when the body is just about to move

C.

Tangent of angle between normal reaction and the resultant of normal reaction and limiting friction

D.

Friction force acting when the body is in motion

Correct option is B


The limiting force of friction is the friction force acting when the body is just about to move. It is the maximum static friction force that can be exerted between two surfaces before motion begins.
When the applied force exceeds this limiting friction, the object will start to move, and kinetic friction will take over.
