Hey guys first time posting and I have a really frustrating question. Is there static friction when the force of gravity is pulling an object straight against a surface. I believe that there is none because (i don't know if I'm wording this right) the friction is equal to the normal of the collision. Let's say you have a 20lb object on perfectly level ground. The only forces acting on the object would be gravity and the reaction force of the ground keeping the object up. Am I right about this. Looking forward to some answers. Thanks.
