do-L, State ang Siiging Friction. All surfaces encountered In experience are more
("less rough in the sense that as bodies move on them they exert forces parallel to the
surfece and in auch direction as to resist motion. Such forces are termed “frietional.”
Frictional force ic proportional to the normal thrust between body: and eurface; how
‘ever, the coefficient of proportionality, known as the coefficient of friction, ean for the
same body and surface vary a great deal depending on the nature of the contact and
the motion. It is customary to define
4, = Dagnitude of maximum frietionl foes
‘magnitude of normal thrust
as the coefficient of static friction if motion is just on the point of starting. On the other
hand, fx, called the coefficient of kinetic or sliding friction, is the value of the ratio in
Eq, (2d-1), when motion has once been established. In general fx
