    This document discusses friction, beginning with defining it as the force that resists the relative motion of two surfaces in contact. It notes that friction always acts tangent to the surfaces and opposes motion. Dry friction occurs without lubrication. The document introduces the concepts of static and kinetic friction, describing static friction as the maximum force resisting impending motion, while kinetic friction acts once motion begins, and is usually less than static friction. It provides the equations for calculating the static and kinetic frictional forces and references additional resources on the topic.

    Friction

    Chapter objectives

    • To introduce the concept of


    dry friction
    • Show how to analyze
    equilibrium of bodies
    involving friction forces
    8.1 Characteristics of dry friction
    • Friction is a force that resists the movement of two contacting
    surfaces that slide relative to one another
    • It always acts tangent to the surface at the points of contact and
    is directed so as to oppose the possible or existing motion between
    the surfaces
    • Dry friction occurs between the contacting surfaces of bodies when
    There is no lubricating fluid

    C.A. Coulomb studied friction in 1781 Leonardo da Vinci 1452-1519
