The force of friction is normal reaction between the surfaces.

The force of friction is normal reaction between the surfaces.

  • A. Inversely propotional to
  • B. directly propotional to
  • C. propotional to the square of
  • D. independent of

Step-by-step solution

The force of friction is directly proportional to the normal reaction between the surfaces, as given by the laws of friction: kinetic friction f_k = μ_k N and static friction f_s ≤ μ_s N.
