Static Friction
Static Friction
The maximum frictional force present between any two objects when one object just tends to move or slip called static friction. Static friction is a kind of starting friction because an object just tends to start moving, it does not actually move. The object remains static (or stationary) in this case. We can demonstrate the static friction between a wooden block and a table top by performing an activity as follows : A wooden block (having a hook attached to its one side) is kept on the horizontal surface of a table. A spring balance is attached to the hook of wooden block (as shown in Figure 9). We pull the spring balance to the right side with a small force of our hand. This will exert a force on the wooden block. The wooden block, however, does not move because its motion is being opposed by the force of friction which acts in the opposite direction (to the left side). As we increase the pulling force applied to the wooden block (through spring balance), the friction also goes on increasing. But ultimately, when the applied force becomes a little more than the maximum frictional force, the wooden block just tends to move or slip on the surface of table. This means that the frictional force acting between the wooden block and table top has a maximum value beyond which it cannot increase. The force which we are exerting in making the wooden block just tend to move or slip is equal (but opposite) to the force of friction. In Figure 9 we can see that when the wooden block just tends to move or slip on the table top, the spring balance shows a reading of 5 N force (5 newtons force). This means that the magnitude of static friction between this wooden block and table top is of 5 newtons.
From the above discussion we conclude that the force required to overcome friction at the instant an object just tends to start moving from rest, is a measure of static friction. Static friction comes into play when we try to move a stationary object (which is at rest). Please note that in the case of static friction, the object is actually not moving or sliding over the other object, it only tends to move or slide.
A force of 5 N is required to move an object from rest. The value of static friction (f) is :

10thAbhyas academy is great place to learn. I have learnt a lot here they have finished my fear of not answering.It has created a habit of self studying in me.The teachers here are very supportive and helpful. Earlier my maths and science was good but now it has been much better than before.
Barkha Arora
10thAbhyas is an institute of high repute. Yogansh has taken admission last year. It creates abilities in child to prepare for competitive exams. Students are motivated by living prizes on basis of performance in Abhyas exams. He is satisfied with institute.

7thThe experience was nice. I studied here for three years and saw a tremendous change in myself. I started liking subjects like English and SST which earlier I ran from. Extra knowledge gave me confidence to overcome competitive exams. One of the best institutes for secondary education.

8thMy experience with Abhyas Academy has been very good. When I was not in Abhyas whenever teacher ask questions I could not speak it confidently but when I came in Abhyas, my speaking skills developed and now I am the first one to give the answer of teachers question.

7thI have spent a wonderful time in Abhyas academy. It has made my reasoning more apt, English more stronger and Maths an interesting subject for me. It has given me a habbit of self studying
Yatharthi Sharma
10thWhen I have not joined Abhyas Academy, my skills of solving maths problems were not clear. But, after joining it, my skills have been developed and my concepts of science and SST are very well. I also came to know about other subjects such as vedic maths and reasoning.
Sharandeep Singh
7thMy experience with Abhyas academy is very good. I did not think that my every subject coming here will be so strong. The main thing is that the online tests had made me learn here more things.
Hiya Gupta
8thAbhyas is good institution and a innovative institute also. It is a good platform of beginners.Due to Abhyas,he has got knoweledge about reasoning and confidence.My son has improved his vocabulary because of Abhyas.Teacher have very friendly atmosphere also.
Manish Kumar
10thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.
Shivam Rana
7thAbhyas is a complete education Institute. Here extreme care is taken by teacher with the help of regular exam. Extra classes also conducted by the institute, if the student is weak.
Om Umang
10thUsually we see institutes offering objective based learning which usually causes a lag behind in subjective examinations which is the pattern followed by schools. I think it is really a work of planning to make us students grab the advantages of modes of examination, Objective Subjective and Onli...
