Experiment # 02

Objective:

To determine the coefficient of friction betweenstainlesssteel & aluminum


blocks and a steel plane.

Apparatus:

1. Pulley
2. Hanger
3. Blocks of different materials (Stainless Steel &Aluminium)
4. Weights
5. Pointer
6. Protector
7. Sliding Plane (Stainless Steel)

Friction It is the resistive force which impedes the motion when one tries
to slide the body.

Cause of friction:

Interlocking between two surfaces is the cause of friction.Friction forces

are due to irregularity of surfaces.

Dependence:

1-Nature of forces

2-The force which is applied to move and on the surface nature.

Classification of friction:

1-Dry friction (rigid body)/(coloumb friction)


Lab 03

2-Fluid friction(it depends upon viscosity )

Types of fluid friction:

1-Static friction

Friction when bodies are not moving

2-Kinatic friction

Friction when bodies are moving

Kinetic friction has two types:

1-Sliding friction

2- Rolling friction

Coefficient of friction:

It is imperical property of contectingsurfaces.It is the ratio between


frictional force and normal reaction.

Procedure:

1. The surfaces used in this test must be cleaned for the experiment and
kept free from dirt when not in use.
2. The adjustable plane is to be positioned on a firm bench so that the
load on the hanger passes the edge of the bench as it descends.
3. Clamp the plane in the 0o position and use a spirit level to ensure the
whole apparatus is level.
4. Weigh all the trays, load hanger and record.
5. Place the sample tray on the horizontal stainless steel channel at the
end remote from the pulley.
6. Attach the towing cord and arrange it over the pulley with the load
hanger suspended. Add load to the hanger until the tray will continue
to slide at roughly constant velocity after being given a slight push to
start it moving.Record this load in table.
7. You may find that you need to lightly tap the bench which the unit is on
or the apparatus itself to induce movement in the tray.

8. Also ensure that the hanger is not swaying before loading.

Comments:

Questions:

1. What is the cause of friction?

2. Give examples to show that friction is both a friend and a


foe (i.e. advantageous & hazardous)
