The Maximum Value of the Static Friction is Called Limiting Friction (A) True (B) False (C) Ambiguous (D) Data Insufficient

Answer: Correct option is (A) True. 

Force of friction is always active where the two surfaces form a point of contact. Such two surfaces can be across one another, sliding or slipping with each other. Friction always restricts the smooth movement of the object from the opposite direction when the thing is trying to move in a specific order. For example, if you try to push an object in the opposite direction of the ground, friction makes the motion difficult. Hence the frictional force increases to its maximum value when the force to restrict the movement is increased. Therefore, this maximum value is called limiting friction.
