Question

Which of the frictional force counterbalances the force applied to a body?

  1. Static friction
  2. Sliding friction
  3. Rolling friction
  4. Fluid friction

hintHint:

The force exerted on a body is balanced by the static friction force.  It enters the picture up until anything starts to move.

The correct answer is: Static friction


    The frictional force that counterbalances the force applied to a body is static friction.
    • A frictional force that limits the act of another force is called static friction.
    • It also goes by the name of self-adjusting force.
    • An object subjected to the static friction remains in rest until the static friction is removed.
    • Static frictional force often counterbalances the force applied to a body.
