Answer:

Friction is a necessary evil which causes the following disadvantages:

  • Friction produces heat. This increases the wear and tear of machines and it may damage them.
  • Friction reduces efficiency of machines.
  • Sometimes, friction or collision between two rigid objects sparks at any place which may cause fire.
  • Soles of shoes wear out due to friction. Similarly, tyres of cycles and vehicles wear out due to friction.
  • Knives and razors lose their sharp edges due to friction.

This is because a part of energy supplied to the machines is converted into heat.
