I recently learned that normal force often shifts from its usual line (below the COM) to counter the torque produced by friction.



Is this shifting only possible when friction is there?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
