The surface area of contact does not directly affect friction. The force of friction depends on the normal reaction force and the coefficient of friction, which are independent of the surface area. However, a larger surface area may distribute the force over a larger area, reducing the pressure and potentially minimizing microscopic interlocking between surfaces, leading to lower frictional forces.
