A body of mass 1 kg is kept on a rough surface having coefficient of friction = 0.25 being pulled by a force of 2N, which frictional force will be acting on the body?

(a) Limiting friction

(b) Static friction

(c) Kinetic friction

(d) Rolling friction

The question was asked during a job interview.

This question is from Limiting Friction topic in chapter Friction of Machine Kinematics

The correct choice is (b) Static friction

For explanation: Since the applied force of 2N has a value less than the limiting friction 0.25×9.81

The acting friction will be static friction and the body will stay at rest.
