And the maximum static friction is just equal to the coefficient of (static friction) x (the normal force) -- so, plugging in the numbers, we find that it's 169.91 Newtons.

Researchers have demonstrated how to entirely suppress static friction between two surfaces. This means that even a minuscule force suffices to set objects in motion. Especially in micromechanical ...

It’s perhaps the second week of your introductory physics course. Your instructor starts talking about friction and writes the following two formulas on the board. Then there is probably some ...
