| Jan 9, 2021 at 4:05 | comment | added | Ankit | @Bill N you will be surprised to hear that the name of the book is errorless physics :) | |
| Jan 8, 2021 at 20:28 | comment | added | Bill N | The book is wrong! Phrase on the right side should be "maximum possible static friction." Lesson to learn: the book isn't always right. What book is that? | |
| Jan 8, 2021 at 20:04 | comment | added | David White | @Ankit, I agree with other comments ... centripetal force equals friction force until the object slips and exits uniform circular motion. The author's assertion is ambiguous, and it could have been worded better. The answer provided by Martina is an excellent example of how the wording can be made somewhat less ambiguous. | |

| Jan 8, 2021 at 17:34 | comment | added | Ankit | @David White I know that friction serves as centripetal force but then why is it less than it ? | |
| Jan 8, 2021 at 17:18 | comment | added | David White | "Centripetal force" is a "catchall" phrase for any force that causes circular motion. In your example, that force is friction. | |
| Jan 8, 2021 at 16:31 | comment | added | Ankit | @OVERWOOTCH but what is the required centripetal force ? | |
| Jan 8, 2021 at 16:16 | comment | added | Vulgar Mechanick | static friction can't exceed the required centripetal force. This is because static friction is always equal to what it needs to be to prevent relative slipping. This is analogous to asking if static friction could exceed mgsinx on a particle placed on a slope | |
