Static Friction Formula

Fs = μs × Fn

where,

  • μs is static friction coefficient
  • Fn is normal force acting upon the object.

Static Friction Formula

Friction is a force that prevents some sliding objects from moving. We can find friction in our surroundings at any time. It acts in a direction opposite to that of the object’s movement. We can stop quickly if we run down the sidewalk and slow down and then eventually stop because of the frictional force between our footwear and the ground. Friction can occur with either a moving or stationary body. As a result, it can be both dynamic and static.
