^Oblique pull Suppose a block of mass ‘m’ placed on a rough horizontal plane is pulled by a constant force F acting at an angle θ to horizontal, let Fsinθ < mg, then, N = mg – Fsinθ Force needed to start the block moving is, Fcosθ = fL Using law of friction the limiting […]
^f versus F graph For the static body the f versus F graph will be a straight line passing through origin making an angle 450 with the F axis. It will be a horizontal line when the body starts moving, because kinetic friction is constant.
^Motion of a body on a fixed rough horizontal surface Suppose a block of mass ‘m’ placed on a rough horizontal plane is pulled by a horizontal force F. Following are the various possibilities: If F = 0, then the frictional force acting on the block will be zero & the block will remain stationary. […]
^Oblique pulling is easier than pushing Let 1 → oblique pushing & 2 → oblique pulling ⇒ Force required for oblique pushing is greater than that for oblique pulling. i.e. oblique pulling is easier than oblique pushing. Check yourself that there is no difference between pushing & pulling if the force applied is horizontal.
^Angle of friction The angle between the normal reaction & the resultant of normal reaction & limiting friction on a horizontal rough surface is called angle of friction (α). On an inclined plane angle of friction is also called angle of repose (β). α = β = tan– 1(μstatic)
^Condition to start relative motion Suppose a body A at rest over another body B. Let the limiting friction acing between them is fLAB. If a net force F acts on A which tends to start motion of A relative to B then the condition to start motion of A relative to B is F […]
^Static friction, fk The frictional force acting between two surfaces at rest with respect to each other is called static friction. Static friction is a self adjusting force. It adjusts itself from zero to a maximum value called limiting friction. fs = 0 to μs N (called fL)
^Coefficient of friction Coefficient of friction is abbreviated by the symbol μ. It is a unit less dimensionless constant. Its value decides the extent of roughness or smoothness of two contact surfaces. Its value is low for smooth, wet & moving surfaces, and high for rough, dry & static surfaces. Generally μ < 1 but […]
^Kinetic friction, fk Frictional force acting between two surfaces moving with respect to each other is called kinetic friction. Kinetic friction is independent of amount of velocity. Its amount is given by fk = mk N. Here μk is called coefficient of friction.
^Friction, f A tangential contact force opposing relative motion between two surfaces is called friction. It is two types static & kinetic.
