If the sliding friction betwen two surfaces is found to be 8 N, then the static friction between these two surfaces is most likely to be:
(a) 5 N
(b) 10 N
(c) 4 N
(d) 2 N

As we know that static friction is always greater than sliding friction. So, if the sliding friction is 8 N, then static friction should be greater than 8 N.

So, the static friction between these two surfaces is most likely to be 10 N.

So, option (b) is correct.
