Hello Siddharth, friction is the force that resist motion in the surface of an object comes in contact with the surface of another.The mechanical advantage of a machine is reduced by friction or in other words the ratio of output to input is reduced because of friction.
Example:-
1. a person sliding down a slide is an example of sliding friction
2. One example of static friction is that help the people climb the rock wall
Hello Siddharth,
The opposing force which comes into play when an body moves or tries to move the surface of another body is known as friction.
Example:t is impossible to walk on the ground without friction. Friction is what holds your shoe to the ground. The friction present on the ice is very little, this is the reason why it is hard to walk on the slippery surface of the ice.
