  • Friction: What is meant by Fscale and Fs? What does Fscale-f = Fs mean?

    We have to give a force equal to or greater than Fs to move a static body. In case of a body of mass 'm' at rest on a horizontal surface, the normal force Fn=mg and hence the relation coefficient of kinetic friction = Fs/mg.

  • What is the work done by each force on a box being pushed?

    perpendicular to the movement of the block, then θ = 90°, and cos(90°) = 0 So Similar to the gravity, Wmg = 0 This solution shows how to determine the work done by the four forces: applied force, frictional force, normal force and gravity.

  • Coefficient of friction and dynamic and static friction

    The frictional force is given by Ff = (Mu)*N, where N is the Normal force which is perpendicular to the motion and hence, in this case, equal to the weight of the block, W Newtons and "Mu" is the coefficient of friction.
