Suppose if we were pushing on a heavy bucket of stones it 100 N of force, and it did not move then 100 Newtons of force would be balancing the force that we were applying.
What is friction?
Friction is a type of force that resists or prevents the relative motion of two physical objects when their surfaces come in contact.
The friction force prevents any two surfaces of objects from easily sliding over each other or slipping across one another. It depends upon the force applied to the object.
The limiting friction is the frictional force which comes into play when the object is just about to move due to the effect of the externally applied force, limiting frictional force balance the externally applied force up to a state when the object does not move.
The value of friction force also depends on the coefficient of friction which depends on the roughness of the surface, the coefficient of the limiting friction is less than that of the coefficient of the kinetic friction.
As given in the problem statement that supposes if we were pushing on a heavy bucket of stones it 100 N of force, and it did not move then 100 Newtons of force would be balancing the force that we were applying because of the limiting friction.
