1.GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES OF FRICTION.

A. DRY FRICTION

THE GRAVITATIONAL PULL OF THE EARTH IS AN EXAMPLE OF DRY FRICTION. WE CAN FEEL THE
DRY FRICTION WHILE YOU WALK, BRUSH, RUB, SAND, AND SO ON.

B. FLUID FRICTION

THERE ARE NUMEROUS EXAMPLES OF FLUID FRICTION IN EVERYDAY LIFE. HERE ARE A FEW
EXAMPLES:

•A SAILING SHIP ON THE WATER.

•THE MOVEMENT OF WATER WHEN SUCKED THROUGH A STRAW.

•THE FLOW OF MAPLE SYRUP WHEN SPREAD ON TOAST.

•A PERSON IN THE WATER SWIMMING.

C. LUBRICATED FRICTION

IN VITRO "ROLLING" OF LEUKOCYTE CELLS WHILE IN CONTACT WITH THE ENDOTHELIUM IS AN

EXAMPLE OF FRICTION AND LUBRICATION FORCES IN A LIVING SYSTEM. THIS BEHAVIOR IS CHAOTIC
AND INCLUDES STICKING, SLOW SLIDING (ALSO KNOWN AS "ROLLING" OR "CREEP"), STEADY SLIDING,
SLIP OR "SALTATION," AND FREE OR BULK FLOW.

D. SKIN FRICTION

WHEN A FLUID FLOWS OVER A STATIONARY SURFACE, SUCH AS A FLAT PLATE, A RIVER BED, OR
THE WALL OF A PIPE, THE FLUID THAT TOUCHES THE SURFACE IS BROUGHT TO REST BY SHEAR STRESS
AT THE WALL.

E. INTERNAL FRICTION

HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF INTERNAL FRICTION:

TWO IDENTICAL STEEL WIRES START OSCILLATING AT THE SAME TIME. ONE WIRE HAS STOPPED
VIBRATING, WHILE THE OTHER IS STILL OSCILLATING. THE FORMER WIRE HAD BEEN HEATED WITH A
FLAME TO ABOUT 800 ° C AND THEN SLOWLY COOLED, DRAMATICALLY INCREASING ITS DAMPING.
2.HOW COULD YOU CLASSIFY FRICTION IF IT’S GOOD OR BAD?

BOTH GOOD AND BAD THINGS CAN COME FROM FRICTION. THE APPLICATION IS WHAT
DETERMINES WHETHER IT IS GOOD OR BAD. DETERMINE WHETHER IT IS ASSISTING IN THE
COMPLETION OF THE WORK OR RESISTING IT.

FOR EXAMPLE, WE ARE STANDING STILL ON THE GROUND DUE TO FRICTION, WHICH IS BENEFICIAL IN
THIS CASE. CONSIDER A HEAVY BLOCK THAT IS RESTING ON THE FLOOR AND YOU NEED TO PUSH IT
TO SOME DISTANCE; YOU WILL NEED A LOT OF FORCE TO DO THE JOB. IN THIS CASE, FRICTION IS
RESISTING THE WORK, WHICH IS WHY IT IS REFERRED TO AS BAD.

3.HOW TO MINIMIZE THE OCCURRENCE OF WEAR?

OCCURRENCE OF WEAR CAN BE PREVENTED/MINIMIZED IN A VARIETY OF WAYS. THE MOST

COMMON TECHNIQUES INVOLVE THE USE OF WEAR-RESISTANT MATERIALS OR SIMPLY CHANGING THE
MATERIAL PROPERTIES, SUCH AS HARDENING. BY KEEPING THE SURFACES APART, WEAR CAN ALSO BE
PREVENTED. FOR THIS PURPOSE, OIL AND GREASE ARE FREQUENTLY USED.
