Which one of the following statements is incorrect?

1

Frictional force opposes the relative motion.

2

Limiting value of static friction is directly proportional to normal reaction.

3

Rolling friction is smaller than sliding friction.

4

Coefficient of sliding friction has dimensions of length.

Step-by-Step Solution

Coefficient of sliding friction (μs\mu_s) is defined by f=μsNf = \mu_s N, so μs=f/N\mu_s = f/N. Since both ff and NN are forces, μs\mu_s is a dimensionless quantity. Thus, statement (4) is incorrect.
