Question:

Four children were asked to arrange forces due to rolling, static and sliding frictions in a decreasing order. Their arrangements are given below. Choose the correct arrangement. Rolling, sliding, static; Static, sliding, rolling; Rolling, static, sliding; Sliding, static, rolling

Static, sliding, rolling

Rolling, static, sliding

Rolling, sliding, static

Sliding, static, rolling

Solution:

The correct option is B Static, sliding, rolling

Sliding friction is the force of friction between two objects when one of them is sliding over the surface of the other. The force of sliding friction between them is a little smaller than static friction between them. Between the same two surfaces, once motion is started the friction becomes slightly less than maximum static force.

rolling friction - force of friction that comes into play when one body rolls over the surface of another body. It is more convenient to roll than to slide an object once the surface of other

Hence, static friction > sliding friction > Rolling friction.
