If the radius of the earth is 600 km the height of a mountain above sea level at the top of which a beat seconds pendulum at sea level, looses 27 seconds a day, is
The force of friction always acts in a direction opposite to that in which a body is moving
The magnitude of the kinetic friction bears a constant ratio to the normal reaction between two surfaces. The ratio being slightly less than that in the case of limiting friction
All of these
For moderate speeds the force of friction remains constant but decreases slightly with the increase of speed
