Detailed Solution

The maximum opposing force between the object and the surface in contact with it, so long as the object remains stationary even on applying the force then it is known as sliding friction.
Sliding friction is defined as the resistance between two different bodies when they are sliding against each other. It is equal to the amount of force needed to keep the object in motion.
When we apply force from left to right on an object it also generates some force from right to left. And when the object moves and the frictional force generated is known as sliding friction.
