Friction

Question
CBSEENSC8005659

How can we increase friction?

Solution

We can increase friction between the surfaces in contact  by increasing the irregularities of the surfaces in contact. 

For example: 
1. Gymnasts and weight lifters rub chalk powder on their hands before their events to increase the grip in their hands. 
2. spikes are used in shoes of the athletes so that they can interlock better with the irregularities of the ground to have a  better grip.
