Answer:

FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that the friction force between two sliding surfaces is given by the formula


F_f = \mu F_n

here


\mu = coefficient of friction

it depends on the the inter molecular force between the molecules of the two surfaces which slide over each other

now if we will increase the normal force then it will increase the force of friction

but if will not change the value of coefficient of friction between two surface as it is property of the surface only
