Effect of Mass on Static Friction

The document describes an experiment that measured the static friction between a wooden crate and a metal surface when different masses were added to the crate. The results showed that the greater the mass added to the crate, the greater the static friction force measured.

Caption: Based on this data table, it is clear that that there is very
obvioius pattern. As the mass of the crate increases, so does the
friction of the crate as it slides, causing less damage to the cargo if
the crate were to contain any.
