Answer:
Force of static friction between the two surfaces
Explanation:
When two surfaces come into contact, they exert a force that resist the sliding of the two surfaces. This force is called static friction.
This force is given by the relation
Where,
μ - coefficient of static friction
η - normal force acting on the body
When a force acts on a body placed on a rough surface, it doesn't do any work if the applied force was less than the force of static friction.
So, in order to move the body, the applied force should be greater than the force of static friction.
