Lecture Notes for Friction #1 and 2 Definition of Friction Force (Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary) – Resistance to relative motion between two bodies in contact (MICLIMB) – A force that works against motion (Sophomore-level engineering handbook) – Tangential forces which develop when one attempts to move two surfaces that are in contact with respect to each other When on attempts to move two surfaces with respect to each other Tangential force at the surfaces that are in contact A friction force develops to oppose any attempt to move two surfaces which are in contact. The friction force must be overcome before motion between the two surfaces can begin. There are two types of friction forces: Dry friction force refers to force along non-lubricated surfaces. Fluid friction refers to lubricated surfaces For a one-dimensional problem along a horizon surface, dry friction force can be studied in the following manner: 1. Place a block on a surface 2. By means of a spring scale, slowly pulls the block and record the force as a function of time. 3. Continue until motion of block has started. 4. Graph force as a function of time F Weight of objective, W Applied force, F, to move objective Normal reaction, N Opposing friction force, f, developed to oppose motion Fm Fk Motion began Maximum friction force, Fm = µsW, where µs is the coefficient of static friction Kinetic friction force, Fk = µkW, where µk is the coefficient of kinetic friction Fm > Fk and µs > µk. (When you try to push a stalled car off the road, it is hard to get the car push started; once the car begins to move, it is easier to continue to move the car.) Answer to Assignment #1: The friction force acting to oppose motion does not depend on the surface area of contact but depends on the mass of the object to be moved Time Force Force is a fundamental concept in engineering science. A force can be defined as the action of one body on another. The force exerted may be by actual contact, as in the case of a hammer on a nail, or at a distance, as in the case of gravitational forces, magnetic forces, or electrical forces. A force is characterized by its point of application, its magnitude, and its direction. Therefore, force is a vector (has a magnitude and direction). The force’s magnitude is represented by the arrow’s length and its direction by the direction of the arrow The Three Laws of Newton First Law: For equilibrium (at rest, if initially at rest, or continues original motion at the same speed, if initially in motion), the resultant force must be zero. ΣF = 0. [Forces are vectors. Therefore, the mathematic operation is vector sum of forces (consider both the magnitude and direction) rather than arithmetic sum (only magnitude)] Second Law: The acceleration is proportional to the resultant force, if not in equilibrium. ΣF = ma, m = mass, a = acceleration [Since force is a vector, acceleration is also a vector.] Third Law: Action and reaction forces have the same magnitude, same line of action, but opposite direction. Force Units: In the International System of Units (SI Units) force is expressed in Newton (N) in which 1 Newton of force, according to Newton’s 2nd Law, produces an acceleration of 1 m/sec2 to a mass of 1 kilogram (kg), i.e., 1 N = (1 kg)(1 m/sec2) In the U.S. Customary Units, force is expressed in pound (lbf) which, when applied to a mass of 1 pound (lbm), produces an acceleration of 32.2 ft/sec2, i.e., 1 lbf = (1 lbm)(32.2 ft/sec2)
