    Static and Kinetic Friction Introduction The amount of friction force between two surfaces in contact depends on the type of the surfaces in contact and the amount of compression between the surfaces. Static friction is the force that is acting against your force before the object begins to move. If you exert a small push on the box‚ the box will not move because static friction is directly opposite to the push. If you apply a greater force than the static friction force‚ the friction increases

    Static Friction INTRODUCTION When an object is placed on a surface it will remain static unless the resolved component of the force due to gravity acting parallel to the surface exceeds the friction force associated with the static coefficient of friction between surfaces by placing various objects on a surface and tilting the surface until the object begins to slip. By measuring the angle at which the object begins to slip‚ it is then possible to calculate the coefficient of friction between

    Destiny Stuart Partner’s Name: Shanygne Swann Lab Report #2 Title of Experiment: Static Friction and Limiting Equilibrium Brief Theory of Experiment: In limiting equilibrium‚ the sum of the forces on block X and on the hanging masses (load) Y is zero. The load is increased to a value until block X just slides at constant speed when the table is tapped. Tapping the table destroys the limiting equilibrium condition momentarily by altering the balance between tension (T) in the string and
