Question

If the mass of the slider increases does the coefficient of static friction also increase?explain​

Answer 1

No, it doesn't. Weight (sometimes) indirectly affects the frictional force but not the coefficient. The frictional force is proportional the normal reaction force which often (but not always) is equal to the weight. The constant of proportionality is the coefficient of friction or its reciprocal (depending on which side of the equation the constant is on). Situations when weight and normal reaction force are unequal when they are unequal. Normal reaction force is just a force to maintain the equilibrium of the body if it can.

Answer 2

No, the mass of the slider increases does not increase the coefficient of static friction.

What is static friction?

In static friction, the frictional force resists force that is applied to an object, and the object remains at rest until the force of static friction is overcome.

As the mass increases, the static friction increases. This is because the normal force increases as the mass increases.

Also, the coefficient of friction doesn't depend on the mass of the object.
