Multiple choice

Arrange the following types of forces in increasing order of their magnitudes:

a. Sliding friction b. Rolling friction c. Static friction

  1. Static friction, rolling friction, sliding friction

  2. Sliding friction, static friction, rolling friction

  3. Rolling friction, sliding friction, static friction

  4. Static friction, sliding friction, rolling friction

  5. Rolling friction, static friction, sliding friction

C Correct answer
Explanation

This is the correct option. Rolling friction is much less than sliding friction. Sliding friction is less than static friction. Thus, the correct increasing order of the forces will be: Rolling friction, sliding friction, static friction.
