Friction: the resistance to an objects


motion when it travels against a
surface or in a viscous medium. It has
a direction parallel and opposite the
direction of motion.
Static Friction, fs : the frictional force
that exists when a force is applied to
attempt to move an object across a
surface but the object is not yet set in
motion; fs counteracts the applied force.
Kinetic Friction, fk : the frictional force
that exists when an object has been set in
motion across a surface.

Example 1:

Find the coefficient of


friction as a function of the angle , for the
inclined plane shown
a) for the case where the object is moving
at constant velocity
b)where the object is moving at a constant
acceleration.

Example 2: A 1.00kg book is held against a


wall by pressing it against the wall with a
force of 50.00N. What must be the minimum
coefficient of friction between the book and
the wall, such that the book does not slide
down the wall?
