Q. Which of the following is/are correctly matched?
  1. Static friction – self-adjusting force
  2. Sliding friction – less than limiting friction
  3. Rolling friction – greater than sliding friction
Select the correct answer using the codes given below:

Answer: Only 1 & 2
Notes: Static friction is a self-adjusting force. Sliding friction is always less than the limiting (maximum static) friction. Rolling friction is the smallest frictional force, much less than sliding friction. Therefore, only statements 1 and 2 are correct, while statement 3 is incorrect.
