To demonstrate that:
a) Sliding force is proportional to the
normal force
b) Sliding force is a function of the
nature of the contact force


THEORY
Kinetic Friction
Occur when a body is sliding over a
surface.
Kinetic friction is approximately equal
to magnitude normal force multiplied
by the coefficient of kinetic friction.
Magnitude of kinetic friction force :
fk = kN


Static Friction
Occur when a body is not moving relative to the
surface.
The maximum possible static friction force is
approximately equal to the magnitude of the
normal force multiplied by the coefficient of
static friction.
Usually the magnitude of the static friction force
is GREATER than magnitude of kinetic friction
force for a given pair of surfaces in contact.
Magnitude of static friction force :
fS = SN

Result confirmed the objectives
Because sliding force is proportional to the
normal force
Normal force increased when the mass is
added to slotted mass
Sliding force increased as normal force is
increase by 490N each trial on the
rubbberised friction block
Rubberised friction block and non-rubberised
friction block have different coefficient of
static and kinetic friction

Sliding force is directlly proportional to the
normal force
Increase in mass of slotted weight by 490N
will increase the normal force causing the
sliding force to increase too
Different type of block affect the sliding force
of the block as they have different coefficient
of friction
