If the value of static friction for a couch is 400N, what could be a possible value of its kinetic friction? *

kinetic friction may be greater than 400 N or smaller than 400 N

Explanation:

As we know that maximum value of static friction on the rough surface is known as limiting friction and the formula of this limiting friction is known as

now when object is sliding on the rough surface then the friction force on that surface is known as kinetic friction and the formula of kinetic friction is known as

now we know that

so here value of limiting static friction force is always more than kinetic friction

also we know that

initially when body is at rest then static friction value will lie from 0 N to maximum limiting friction

and hence kinetic friction may be greater than static friction or if the static friction is maximum limiting friction then kinetic friction is smaller than static friction

so kinetic friction may be greater than 400 N or smaller than 400 N

it is easily magnetized.
