This will require a force as the surface moves. In some circumstances friction is unwanted because it ‘wastes energy, However at some circumstances friction is useful. For example, braking a carare applied, friction between the wheels and the road surface is essential if the car is to be slowed down, Static friction Sometimes the force applied is nat la rge enough to overcome the fi i n. So, no movement takes place, though a force is applied, The fiction acting inthis situation ig called static friction. 66 AML) Physics Sostatic friction acts between surfaces at rest when a force is applied to make one another, ‘Think of sliding a heavy case across a horizontal floor.

From the above three states of equilibrium it can be seen that the unstable equilibrium position is themost unsafe position. Itcan also be seen that lower the position of the centre of gravity ofa body the more stable or safethe body is.
