Name

Purpose: In this experiment, we will investigate the dependence of the

forces of static friction, kinetic friction and rolling friction on the
pressure, area and contact surface between the object and the moving
plane.

Data processing:

In this experiment, we will measure the frictional force of the the drag
area on a horizontal plane.When the object is at rest or in uniform
straight-line motion, the total force acting on the object is zero, the
frictional force will be equal to the pulling force. Thus, when the object
is at rest, the friction force at rest is completely observable by the
measure of the drag force. Meanwhile, the force of kinetic friction can
be observed through the measurement of the drag force only when the
object is moving in a straight line.

We will use the dynamometer to pull the object horizontally, increasing

the magnitude of the force. When the object starts to move, the
dynamometer will show the measurement of the maximum force of
static friction. When pulling an object moving in a straight line, the
dynamometer will show the value of the force of kinetic friction.

1)Forces of static friction: fs = F

The magnitude of the force of static friction between any two surfaces
in contact: fs =< us*n

fs: Force of static friction

us: Coefficient of static friction

2)Forces of kinetic friction:

The magnitude of the force of kinetic friction acting between two

surfaces: fk = uk*n

fk: Force of kinetic friction

uk: Coefficient of kinetic friction

3)Forces of rolling friction:

The magnitude of the force of rolling friction: fr= (d/R)*N= ur*N

Fr: Force of rolling friction

Ur: Coefficient of rolling friction
