Friction
Friction
A retarding force that resists the relative movement
of two bodies in contact with each other
Always acts in oppose direction of motion – actual motion
or impending motion
Always acts parallel or tangent to surface(s) in contact
Magnitude is mainly dependent on surface roughness
(other contributing factors: temperature, molecular
adhesion, electrostatic attraction, lubrication, relative
velocities)
Friction Theory
Consider a block on a horizontal surface
No Frictional resistance
N is referred to as the Normal force, perpendicular to the
contact surface
W

Friction Theory
Next an external force is applied
If no friction, block would immediately move
If force is applied, F = P, for equilibrium
At some point, P > F, motion occurs

Ratio of F to N is called the Coefficient of Static
Friction or μ
NF
s Where
μs = coefficient of static friction (unitless)
F – Max or limiting frictional force resistance (lb, k, N)
N – Normal force, perpendicular to contact surface (lb, k, N)
Friction Theory
Stated another way:
Fs = μs N (for impending motion)
Fk = μk N (for sustaining motion, kinetic)
In general:
F ≤ μ N

Friction
Two types of friction
Dry or Coulomb friction
Static – surfaces are at rest with respect to each other
Kinetic/dynamic – surfaces are moving with respect to each other
Fluid Friction
Viscosity, friction developed between layers of a fluid moving at different velocities
We’ll limit our discussion to dry friction
