Coefficient of Friction
Consider 2 Types of Friction
Fs Force of Static Friction
This value represents the relative force necessary
to make an object move
Fk
Frictional Force
Resisting Motion
Fs Fk

F = Force Causing Motion (Pull on Scale)
Fs = Force of Static Friction (Resists Motion)
N = Force Normal Holds Surfaces in Contact
W = Weight of Object ( Mass x Gravity)
Friction is a Force That

The Coefficient of Static Friction Between
the Wood Desktop and the Plastic Battery
is Described Algebraically:
F
s = 110 g
W = 580 g
s = .190
The Coefficient of Kinetic Friction Can
be Found Using the Same Technique

Record the Force Required to Move
the Battery at a Constant Rate
Coefficients of Friction Between Various
Surfaces Have Significant Impact on the
Design and Construction of Mechanisms.
