Outline: Types of Friction Dry Friction Static vs. Kinetic Angles Applications of Friction 1
Contacting surfaces typically support normal and tangential forces Friction is a tangential force Friction occurs whenever there is a tendency for one surface to slide along another Friction opposes this tendency 2
Friction occurs when any two objects are in contact Some case we try to minimize friction (to minimize energy loss) Bearings, fluid flow etc. Some cases we try to maximize friction Brakes We rely on friction to walk 3
Dry (Coulomb friction) Friction force is tangential to surfaces of contact Friction occurs before sliding and during sliding Friction opposes direction of motion Fluid Adjacent layers of fluid (liquid or gas) move at different velocities Depends on velocity gradients and viscosity Internal Function of deformation and elasticity 4
If the box is in static equilibrium, then P=F As P increases, F increases, until force P becomes high enough to overcome static friction. Static friction must be determined from a free body diagram because it depends on P. Kinetic friction is constant for all values of P. 5
Object is NOT sliding Friction is determined by FBD and equations of equilibrium Maximum value of static friction is F max = μ s N When F = F max motion is IMPENDING When 0 < F s μ s N object is in equilibrium 6
Object is slding and generally object is NOT in equilibrium (P>F k ) Friction force is constant and determined by: F max = μ s N Object could in equilibrium (only happens if it is already moving Generally, μ k < μ s 7
The resultant contact force is R acting at an angle When the friction is a maximum N (impending motion) then the angle is also at a maximum F tan s max s N φ R F 8
F f = 0 for smooth sufaces F N = normal force F f µ s F N for no motion; µ s = coefficient of static friction F f = µ s F N for impending motion (about to slide) F f = µ k F N for motion; µ k = coefficient of kinetic friction F f opposes direction of impending motion 9
Consider pushing (with force P) on a uniform crate of weight W that sits on a rough surface. As P increases the crate will slip or tip. If the μ s is large then the normal force with shift to the corner (x = b/2) and the crate will tip over. So, apply N at some unknown distance from the centre line and solve for x. x F N 10
Assume it is in equilibrium not moving, acceleration = 0 Treat friction as an unknown & solve from FBD If F solved > s N, then the friction required to maintain static equilibrium is larger than the maximum friction available the object slides 11

Beam AB is subjected to a uniform load of 200 N/m and is supported at B by post BC.

CASE 1: Post Pulls away @ B only CASE 2: Post Pulls away @ C only Friction @ C needed for equilibrium is 240 μ C Nc then case 1 is valid. Since Fc for equilibrium is greater than Fc max = CASE 1 doesn t happen. 30
