A man piled his laundry basket with clothes. As he begins to push it doesn't move. a pushes a little harder and all the clothes tumbled over with the laundry basket. this is an example of Static friction.

This situation can be understood through the concept of friction. Friction is the force that resists the motion of objects when they are in contact with each other. Static friction is the force that prevents two objects from sliding past each other when they are at rest.
