It absolutely can be greater than 1. Coefficient of friction is actually tan of the angle of friction. And tan can be greater than 1.Can the co efficient of friction be greater than 1?
Our teacher said it can't be but in a past paper question the coefficient of friction is 1.62 so m a li'l confused :/

In 2010 question it's value was 1.62. So it can be greater than 1. There is no reason why it can't be.
