Correct Answer

D

Explanation

coefficient of friction, u = F/R = F/mgperfectly smooth surface has zerofrictional; force. i.e. F=Otherefore U = O/mg = OThe coefficient of friction between two perfectly smooth surfaces is typically considered to be zero. In this ideal scenario, there is no resistance or friction between the surfaces, allowing them to slide or move without any hindrance. However, it's important to note that in reality, truly perfectly smooth surfaces are practically impossible to achieve, and there will always be some level of friction present.
