Detailed Solution

Let us evaluate the given options

a) Static friction is not always greater than kinetic friction because fs  takes the values from 0 to fms  where fk  take place less than fms .

b) Obviously coefficient of static friction is always greater than coefficient of kinetic friction.

i.e. μs=fmsN,μk=fkNweknowfk<fms  

Therefore we get μk<μs .

c) It is true that limiting friction is always greater than kinetic friction.

fms>fk .

fms  is the maximum strength of interlocking of irregularities between two surfaces in contact which are at rest.

fk  is strength of interlocking of irregularities between two surfaces in contact having relative motion.

d) Limiting friction fms  is maximum value attained by the static

friction so fms  will never be less than static friction fs .
