Frictional Force
(B5D6E1)
1. Diagram below shows an experiment to study the
effects of different contact surfaces on frictional force.

(d) Predict the reading of spring balance if the

experiment is repeated on the table with oil on it?

(e)What conclusion can be drawn from this

experiment?
The experiment is then repeated on the floor and on the
sandpaper. The results of the experiment are as below:
