The frictional force will remain the same.

To determine what happens to the frictional force when the normal force is doubled and the coefficient of friction is halved, we can use the formula:

Let's denote the initial coefficient of friction as and the initial normal force as N. The initial frictional force is:

When the normal force is doubled (2N) and the coefficient of friction is halved (), the new frictional force
