How does density affect static friction?

↳Redirected from "Suppose that I don't have a formula for #g(x)# but I know that #g(1) = 3# and #g'(x) = sqrt(x^2+15)# for all x. How do I use a linear approximation to estimate #g(0.9)# and #g(1.1)#?"

Higher density objects have higher static friction.

Explanation:

Density affects the mass of the product. D=m/v.
Higher density objects have greater mass or "things" per unit of volume.
Friction = #muF#n= #mumg#.
And, the more mass in an object, the more static friction.
