Is it true that limiting equilibrium means ma = 0 in F - f = ma ?

Yes, that's correct. In a limiting equilibrium situation, the system is in a state where it's on the verge of moving, but is not actually accelerating. This means that the net force acting on the system is zero.

In the equation \( F - f = ma \), where \( F \) is the applied force, \( f \) is the frictional force, \( m \) is the mass, and \( a \) is the acceleration, setting \( a = 0 \) simplifies the equation to \( F - f = 0 \). This implies that the applied force \( F \) is exactly balanced by the frictional force \( f \). Therefore, in limiting equilibrium, the forces are balanced, and the object is not accelerating.
