This document discusses friction. It defines friction as the tangential forces that develop between two surfaces in contact when one attempts to move relative to the other. These friction forces oppose relative motion. Static friction acts when surfaces are at rest, and can be up to a maximum value determined by the normal force and coefficient of static friction. Kinetic friction acts when surfaces are sliding and depends on the normal force and coefficient of kinetic friction. The coefficients of friction describe the maximum static friction and typical kinetic friction between two surfaces, and are proportional to the normal force but independent of contact area. The document also discusses the angles of friction and provides examples of problems involving dry friction.

- 2. FRICTION
- 3. Definition It was assumed that surfaces in contact were either frictionless (surfaces could move freely with respect to each other) or rough (tangential forces prevent relative motion between surfaces). Actually, no perfectly frictionless surface exists. For two surfaces in contact, tangential forces, called friction forces, will develop if one attempts to move one relative to the other. Friction forces oppose the tendency of contacting surfaces to slip one relative to the other.
- 7. Static friction Static friction applies when two surfaces are at rest with respect to each other (such as a book sitting on a table). The static frictional force is as big as it needs to be to prevent slipping, up to a maximum value. Ffr ≤ μsFN . Usually it is easier to keep an object sliding than it is to get it started. 7Engr.Aamir
- 8. Kinetic friction The friction experienced by surfaces sliding against one another. The kinetic frictional force depends on the normal force The constant is called the coefficient of kinetic friction. 8Engr.Aamir
- 9. 8 - 9 The Laws of Dry Friction. Coefficients of Friction• Block of weight W placed on horizontal surface. Forces acting on block are its weight and reaction of surface N. • Small horizontal force P applied to block. For block to remain stationary, in equilibrium, a horizontal component F of the surface reaction is required. F is a static-friction force. • As P increases, the static-friction force F increases as well until it reaches a maximum value Fm. NF sm µ= • Further increase in P causes the block to begin to move as F drops to a smaller kinetic-friction force Fk. NF kk µ=
