Friction It is the resistive force which impedes the motion when one tries
to slide the body.
Cause of friction:
Dependence:
1-Nature of forces
Classification of friction:
1-Static friction
2-Kinatic friction
1-Sliding friction
2- Rolling friction
Coefficient of friction:
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.
