ET190-ACM
Chapter 6 (Friction)

➢ Types of Friction:
1- Dry Friction (our scope)
2- Fluid Friction (between layers of fluids)
3- Internal Friction (elastic material when recover from deformation losses energy due to
friction)

➢ There are three types of dry friction:

1- Static friction of less than the maximum possible value and determined by the
equations of equilibrium. (This usually requires a check to see that 𝑭 < 𝝁𝒔 𝑵)
2- Limiting static friction with impending motion (𝑭 = 𝝁𝒔 𝑵).
3- Kinetic friction where sliding motion occurs between contacting surfaces (𝑭 = 𝝁𝒌 𝑵).

➢ Tangential forces called friction forces can be generated between all real (rough)
surfaces.

➢ Dry (Coulomb Friction):

1- The maximum value of the friction at which it “gives up” is called 𝑭𝒎𝒂𝒙 and is given by
𝑭 = 𝝁𝒔 𝑵
Where 𝝁𝒔 is the coefficient of static friction and N is the local normal force.
2- Once motion begins, the friction force is called 𝑭𝒌 and is given by 𝑭𝒌 = 𝝁𝒌 𝑵
Where 𝝁𝒌 is the coefficient of kinetic friction and N is the local normal force.

• Note that 𝝁𝒌 is usually a bit smaller than 𝝁𝒔 , meaning that, once motion begins, less force P
is required to maintain the motion than was required to initiate the motion.
• The value of P which causes the maximum static friction force marks the onset of motion, a
condition called impending motion (𝑭 = 𝑭𝒎𝒂𝒙 = 𝝁𝒔 𝑵) and use equilibrium equations to
determine any unknown.

Ex:
A block with weight 𝟑𝟐𝟎 𝑵 has an applied force of
𝟏𝟐𝟎 𝑵 across an inclined plane, with an angle 𝜽 = 𝟐𝟓°.
Find the value of the friction force if the coefficient of static
and kinetic friction (𝝁𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝝁𝒌) are 𝟎. 𝟏𝟕 and 𝟎. 𝟑𝟔
respectively.

Ex:
In the figure shown below, a 𝟑𝟎 𝒌𝒈
block has a load 𝑷 = 𝟐𝟓𝟎𝑵 applied to it at
angle of 𝟏𝟎°, which is connected by a cable
to a 𝟏𝟎 𝒌𝒈 block on an inclined plane at
𝟑𝟎°. Determine the tension (T) caused by
the cable. Also, calculate the force of friction
for each block if it is assumed that the
system is in impending motion (𝝁𝒔 = 𝟎. 𝟕).

Ex:
A 100 kg block rests on an incline. Block B has a mass of
𝟕𝟎 𝒌𝒈. The coefficient of static friction between the block and
the ramp is 𝟎. 𝟐. The mass of the cable is negligible, and the
pulley at point C is frictionless. Will the 𝟏𝟎𝟎 𝒌𝒈 block move? In
what direction?
