This document is a report on friction that was guided by Prof. Mihir Naik. It defines friction and discusses limiting friction, types of friction including static, dynamic, sliding and rolling friction. It also examines the angle of friction, coefficient of friction, angle of repose, and laws of static and dynamic friction. An example problem is included that calculates the weight of a wooden block given the pull force required to move it and the coefficient of friction. The students involved in the project are listed as Patel Avi H., Kotila Jayveer V., Mistry Aditya P., and Pandya Dhrumil D.

3. What Is Friction?
When a body slide or tends to slide on a surface on
which it is resting, a resisting force opposing the
motion is produced at the contact surface. This
resisting force is called friction or friction force.

4. Limiting Friction
The maximum friction force that can be developed at
the contact surface, when body is just on the point of
moving Is called limiting force of friction .

5. Types Of Friction
Static Friction:-
 Friction experienced by a body when it is at rest is called
static friction.
Dynamic Friction:-
 Friction experienced by a body when it is motion is called
dynamic friction.
Sliding Friction:-
 Friction experienced by a body when it slides over another
body, is called sliding friction.
Rolling Friction:-
 Friction experienced by a body when it rolls over another
body is called rolling friction.

7. Angle of Friction
The angle between normal
reaction (A) and resultant
force (R) is called angle of
friction.
It is also called limiting
angle of friction.

8. Coefficient of friction
The ratio of limiting friction (F) and normal reaction
(N) is called coefficient of friction.
µ=F/N
F = Friction Force
N= Normal Reaction

9. Angle Of Repose
With increase in angle of the inclined surface, the
maximum angle at which body starts sliding down is
called angle of friction.

10. Laws Of friction
Laws of static friction
The friction force always acts in a direction, opposite to
that in which the body tends to move.
The magnitude of friction force is equal to the external
force.
F=P
The ratio of limiting friction (F) and normal reaction
(N) is constant.
F/N=µ
The friction force does not depends upon the area of
contact between the two surfaces.
The friction force depends upon the roughness of the
surfaces.

11. Laws of dynamic friction
The friction force always acts in a direction, opposite
that in which the body is moving.
The ratio of limiting friction (F) and normal reaction
(N) is constant & it is known as coefficient of friction
(µ).
For moderate speeds, the friction force remains
constant. But it decreases slightly with the increase of
speed.

12. -:EXAMPLE:-
A Pull of 50 N inclined at 30° to the
horizontal is necessary to move a wooden
block on horizontal table. If coefficient of
friction is 0.20, find the weight of wooden
block.
Solution :
P = 50 N
µ = 0.20

13. Resolve || to plane :
F = 50 cos 30º µ = F/N
F = 43.30 N 0.20 = 43.30/N
N = 216.5
Resolve (perpendicular) to plane
N + 50 sin 30º = W
216.5 + 25 = W
W = 241.5 N
