Solid friction, like viscosity is

  • A. independent of the surface area in contact
  • B. independent of the relative motion between layers
  • C. dependent on normal reaction
  • D. in opposition to motion

Correct Answer: D. in opposition to motion

Explanation

The force acting on a body due to the viscous resistance of the surrounding fluid is called the drag force and it acts in the direction opposite to the direction of motion. So also does friction.
