Explanation
Identify the false statement regarding dry friction. Friction force is generally proportional to the normal load and depends on the materials in contact. It is independent of the contact area and does not vary with sliding velocity. Therefore, the statement claiming friction is proportional to sliding velocity is incorrect.
