Friction
What are the benefits and pitfalls of high or low friction?
Disadvantages Low friction means slipping Uses energy – (loss in engines, etc.) Creates wear on surfaces (abrasion)
(i.e. worn out tires)
Advantages Friction means traction or stability (tires) Allows for life as we know it (sit/stand) Makes a predictable model of how to use it
(i.e.: striking a match)
Forces of Friction Consider a block of weight 'W' resting on another block. A force 'P' is
applied such that motion is impending The application of the equations of equilibrium dictate:
A force 'N' opposite and equal to 'W' exists. This is called the normal* force and is always perpendicular to the surface supporting weight 'W'
A friction force, Ff, opposes 'P'. This force always opposes the direction of impending motion. It is also parallel to the surface supporting weight 'W'

* In this context, 'normal' is defined as a geometric perpendicular

Coefficient of Static Friction The first law of friction states the force of friction is
proportional to the normal force. That is:
Notice this is a linear relationship. The larger the normal force, the greater the force of friction by an equal factor

Coefficient of Static Friction Vectors 'Ff' and 'N' form resultant 'R'. The resultant vector 'R'
is at angle φ with the normal, the friction angle The tangent of the friction angle is known as the coefficient of
static friction and is denoted by the symbol µs
A low value of µs denotes a smooth surface. It is also affected by whether or not the surfaces are wet, and if so, wetted with what

Coefficients of Friction Values of µs can be found in the appendix to this online text.
They are also found in a number of handbooks and on various Internet websites. However, it is important to understand the following Values of friction coefficients are approximate at best. They
are intended only for guidance Exercise care when using friction coefficients. Multiple
independent references should be used For any specific application the ideal method of determining
the coefficient of friction is through testing

Coefficients of Friction Coefficients of friction are sensitive to atmospheric dust and
humidity, oxide films, surface finish, velocity of sliding, temperature, vibration, and extent of contamination. In many cases the degree of contamination is perhaps the most important single variable
A short table is included to illustrate how the coefficient of friction is affected by surface films. When a metal surface is perfectly clean in a vacuum , the friction is much higher than the normal accepted value and seizure can easily occur

Solving a Friction Problem Friction problems can be solved in one of three ways
Analytically Trigonometrically Graphically
The analytical method is a simple sum of forces analysis. It is the preferred method in most cases
The trigonometric method requires the construction of a force triangle. All unknowns are solved using basic trigonometric identities. This method can be easier to apply for certain types of friction problems than the analytical method
9
Solving a Friction Problem Graphical solutions also require the construction of a force
triangle. However, it MUST be drawn to scale Such solutions will generally have a single vector with a
known magnitude and direction. The other two vectors will have known directions but unknown magnitudes
Start by drawing the vector with known magnitude and direction to scale
Then draw the lines of action for the vectors with unknown magnitiude. Make sure they are drawn in a proper direction and tip-to-tail
Where the two unknowns intersect defines the magnitude of the two unknowns. These magnitudes can be measured with a ruler. Although not as accurate as the other two methods, it is well within typical engineering tolerances

Solving a Friction ProblemTrigonometrically
To solve this same problem trigonometrically, we need to resolve N and Ff into vector R and determine angle φ.
Draw a force triangle using W, P and R and identify angle φ.

Solving a Friction Problem Graphically
A graphic solution starts similarly to a trigonometric solution. A major exception is the force triangle is drawn to scale. As such, select a scale in force
For this example, select a scale of 1” = 10 N and draw the force triangle. This means angle φ must also be measured correctly

Draw the vertical weight vector 9.81 inches long.
Vector 'P' has a known direction but unknown length. Draw vector'P', placing its tail on the tip of 'W', some arbitrary length to the right.Vector R has a known direction but unknown length. Draw thisvector, placing the tip of 'R' on the tail of 'W', until it intersects 'P'
With a ruler, measure vectors 'P' and 'R'. They should be about2-7/8 and 10-1/4 in respectively. Apply your scale to arrive at:Apply your scale of 1 in = 10 N to arrive at:
P = 29 N and R= 102N

Forces of Friction The previous discussion and example were contingent upon a
force 'P' of sufficient magnitude to cause impending motion. What happens if 'P' is less than that value and motion is not impending?
In this case, the equations of equilibrium simply dicatate that . However, F will be less than Ff as previously determined. As such, the definition and application of µs does not apply

Example 2 – Motion Not Impending Assume a wooden crate filled with parts has a weight of
200 lbf and rests on a concrete floor. A force of P = 62 lbf is applied Is motion impending? What is the apparent coefficient of static friction? How does it compare to tabulated values? Why?

Example 2 – Motion Not Impending By inspection, we see that N = 200 lbf and F = 62 lbf. From the appendix, we know that µs = 0.62. Since:
and P must equal Ff for motion to be impending, then:
Obviously, motion is not impending We can also calculate an apparent coefficient of friction

This apparent discrepency is because the coefficient of static friction is valid ONLY if motion is impending. Under circumstances defined in this example, µs cannot be applied or calculated.

To determine the coefficient of friction of the lower jaw, we will need to develop the FBD of the handle-jaw assembly
We know the direction of vector D from the previous FBD is 4.5:1 (or 12.52o)
It is important to note that Nc and Fc are not equal to N and F from the previous FBD. This part of the assembly is not a two-force member; the applied force 'P' must be considered
This requires we write the equations of equilibirum for this FBD before we can do the friction analysis

Kinetic Friction
20
We looked at a situation where force 'P' caused impending motion. This is the only time when the coefficient of static friction can be applied
Then we looked at a scenario that did not result in impending motion. It was obvious the coefficient of friction cannot be used to aid in the solution of such problems
But what happens when the value of 'P' exceeds the value required for impending motion?
Kinetic Friction
21
To answer this, consider pushing a heavy wooden box across a concrete floor. Experience tells us it can take quite some effort to get the box moving, but once moving, we no longer need to apply as much force to keep it moving
This illustrates the concept of sliding or kinetic friction. When the box is in motion, the coefficient of static friction does not apply. We must now introduce the concept of kinetic friction
A coefficient of kinetic friction is:
Common values are tabulated in the appendix
Let's investigate further the transition from static to sliding friction

Consider a weight resting on a flat surface with a normal force 'N' between the weight and the surface.
Let's apply force Fapp gradually, starting at zero. A friction force, 'f', will develop and increase linearly while the block remains static. This is indicated by the sloping red line
When 'f' reaches fs, motion will be impending. At this point, frictional force fs = µs N
As soon as 'f' exceeds fs, the weight will go in motion. The amount of force, Fapp required to maintain motion will decrease.

The decrease in Fapp implies two very important concepts First, since the normal force remains
constant, the coefficient of kinetic friction must decrease
Second, if force Fapp is not reduced, the mass will accelerate. Acceleration of a body is covered in a dynamics course
If the body does go in motion and if Fapp is reduced to maintain a constant velocity, then the system can be analyzed using static methods

Example 4 - Kinetic Friction

A pallet of oak was delivered to a carpenter shop. The floor of the shop is also of oak. The pallet has a weight of 1000 lbf and needs to be pushed from one end of the shop to the other. How much force is required to start the pallet moving? How much force is required to keep it moving?
For motion to begin:
s = 0.62 (From appendix)
F y = N − 1000 . . . N = 1000 lb f
F x = F s − P . . . P =−F s
