    This document describes an experiment to measure the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between two polished wood surfaces. The experiment uses a friction block, wooden board, pulley, weights, and other apparatus to apply varying normal forces and measure the resulting frictional forces. Data is collected on static and kinetic friction over different normal forces and surface areas and materials. The conclusion will analyze how factors like normal force, area of contact, and surface material affect the measured frictional forces.
