    The maximum force of static friction is the product of normal force (P) and the coefficient of static friction (c). In a flat surface, normal force is equal to the weight (W) of the body.

    P = W = mass x acceleration due to gravity

    P = (0.3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 2.94 kg m/s² = 2.94 N

    Solving for the static friction force (F),

    F = P x c

    F = (2.94 N) x 0.6 = 1.794 N

    Therefore, the maximum force of static friction is 1.794 N.
