4.9 Static and Kinetic Frictional Forces There are situations where friction helps us and at other times it is a hindrance. Advantages of friction: Disadvantages of friction: wear and tear & energy loss. Microscopic view of Frictional Forces Frictional force VERSUS Applied force Frictional force VERSUS Applied force Static Frictional Force The magnitude fs of the static frictional force can have any value from zero up to a maximum value of fsMAX, depending on the applied force. fs ≤ fsMAX fsMAX = m sFN Kinetic Frictional Force The magnitude fk of the kinetic frictional force is given by, f k m k FN Coefficients of Friction EXAMPLE 10 Sled Riding A sled is traveling at 4.00 m/s along a horizontal stretch of snow, as Figure 4.23a illustrates. The coefficient of kinetic friction is mk = 0.0500. How far does the sled go before stopping? 4.10 The Tension Force 56. Part a of the drawing shows a bucket of water suspended from the pulley of a well; the tension in the rope is 92.0 N. Part b shows the same bucket of water being pulled up from the well at a constant velocity. What is the tension in the rope in part b? Object on an Inclined Plane 43. A Mercedes-Benz 300SL is parked on a road that rises above the horizontal. What are the magnitudes of (a) the normal force and (b) the static frictional force that the ground exerts on the tires? 57. A worker stands still on a roof sloped at an angle of above the horizontal. He is prevented from slipping by a static frictional force of 390 N. Find the mass of the worker.
