ICTION Introduction If we slide or try to slide a body over a surface, the otion is resisted by a bonding between the body and the surface. This resistance is represented by a single force and is called friction force. The force of friction is parallel to the surface and opposite to the direction of intended otion. Types of riction. Static friction: The opposing force that coes into play when one body tends to ove over the surface of another, but the actual otion has yet not started is called static friction.. If applied force is and the body reains at rest then static friction =.. If a body is at rest and no pulling force is acting on it, force of friction on it is zero. 3. Static friction is a self-adjusting force because it changes itself in accordance with the applied force and is always equal to net external force.. Liiting friction: If the applied force is increased, the force of static friction also increases. If the applied force exceeds a certain (axiu) value, the body starts oving. This axiu value of static friction up to which body does not ove is called liiting friction.. The agnitude of liiting friction between any two bodies in contact is directly proportional to the noral reaction between the. l or l s. Direction of the force of liiting friction is always opposite to the direction in which one body is at the verge of oving over the other 3. Coefficient of static friction : 3. s is called coefficient of static friction and is defined as the ratio of force of liiting friction and noral reaction s 0 0 0 3. Diension : [ M L T ] 3.3 Unit: It has no unit. 3.4 Value of depends on aterial and nature of surfaces in contact that eans whether dry or wet ; rough or sooth polished or non-polished. 3.5 Value of does not depend upon apparent area of contact. g ig. 5. or ore Study Material and Question ank visit www.

Kinetic or dynaic friction: If the applied force is increased further and sets the body in otion, the friction opposing the otion is called kinetic friction.. Kinetic friction depends upon the noral reaction. k or k k where k is called the coefficient of kinetic friction. Value of k depends upon the nature of surface in contact. 3. Kinetic friction is always lesser than liiting friction k l k s i.e. coefficient of kinetic friction is always less than coefficient of static friction. Thus we require ore force to start a otion than to aintain it against friction. This is because once the otion starts actually; inertia of rest has been overcoe. lso when otion has actually started, irregularities of one surface have little tie to get locked again into the irregularities of the other surface. 4. Kinetic friction does not depend upon the velocity of the body. 4. Types of kinetic friction 4.. Sliding friction : The opposing force that coes into play when one body is actually sliding over the surface of the other body is called sliding friction. e.g. flat block is oving over a horizontal table. 4.. olling friction : When objects such as a wheel (disc or ring), sphere or a cylinder rolls over a surface, the force of friction that coes into play is called rolling friction. olling friction is directly proportional to the noral reaction () and inversely proportional to the radius (r) of the rolling cylinder or wheel. is called coefficient of rolling friction. It would have rolling r r r the diensions of length and would be easured in etre. olling friction is often quite sall as copared to the sliding friction. That is why heavy loads are transported by placing the on carts with wheels. In rolling the surfaces at contact do not rub each other. The velocity of point of contact with respect to the surface reains zero all the ties although the centre of the wheel oves forward.

The portion C of the curve represents the kinetic friction ( k ). 4. s the portion C of the curve is parallel to x-axis therefore kinetic friction does not change with the applied force, it reains constant, whatever be the applied force. riction is a Cause of Motion It is a general isconception that friction always opposes the otion. No doubt friction opposes the otion of a oving body but in any cases it is also the cause of otion. or exaple: a) While oving, a person or vehicle pushes the ground backwards (action) and the rough surface of ground reacts and exerts a forward force due to friction which causes the otion. If there had been no friction there will be slipping and no otion. ction riction b) During cycling, the rear wheel oves by the force counicated to it by pedalling while front wheel oves by itself. So, when pedalling a bicycle, the force exerted by rear wheel on ground akes force of friction act on it in the forward direction (like walking). ront wheel oving by itself experience force of friction in backward direction (like rolling of a ball). [However, if pedalling is stopped both wheels ove by theselves and so experience force of friction in backward direction]. ig. 5.3 While pedalling ig. 5.4 edalling is stoped c) If a body is placed in a vehicle which is accelerating, the force of friction is the cause of otion of the body along with the vehicle (i.e., the body will reain at rest in the accelerating vehicle until a sg ). If there had been no friction between body and vehicle, the body will not ove along with the vehicle. ro these exaples it is clear that without friction otion cannot be started, stopped or transferred fro one body to the other. or ore Study Material and Question ank visit www. 3
