Friction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Friction is the force resisting the relative lateral (tangential) motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, or material elements in contact. It is usually subdivided into several varieties: • Dry fric...

Factors Affecting Friction ... When the applied force on an object is equal or less than the force of friction, the object will not move. If the applied force is slightly bigger than the force of friction, the object will move in the direction of the applied force. ... Note: The force of friction dose not depend on surface Area.

As an engineer, I know that friction does not depend upon surface area. As a car nut, I know that wider tires have better traction. How do you explain ... For a wide tire, the area is large but the force per unit area is small and vice versa. The force of friction is therefore the same whether the tire is wide or not.

Friction force is defined by Dr. Lamott, from Concordia University, St. Paul, Minnesota, as the "force created between two contacting surfaces that tend to rub or slide past each other" (Lamott). The ability for an object to slide on any surface depends upon several factors.
