How do you find the coefficient of friction experimentally?
An easy way to measure the coefficient of static friction is to place two objects together and then tilt them until the top one slides. The angle at which one object starts to slip on the other is directly related to the coefficient.
What is the formula for coefficient of friction?
coefficient of friction, ratio of the frictional force resisting the motion of two surfaces in contact to the normal force pressing the two surfaces together. It is usually symbolized by the Greek letter mu (μ). Mathematically, μ = F/N, where F is the frictional force and N is the normal force.
How do you calculate friction in statistics?
The static friction value ranges between zero and the smallest force which needs to start the motion. The formula to calculate the static friction is given as: Static Friction = Normal Force x Static Friction coefficient.
