Friction Definition and 998 Threads

The friction from the rod and the friction from the plane on the cylinder should be the same due to torque equilibrium on the cylinder. If we let N_1 be the normal force on the rod and N_2 be the normal force on the cylinder from the plane, I expected µN_1 = µN_2. Looking at torque on the rod...

I don't really know how to begin this problem. I need some advice

A man tries to climb up a rope with acceleration, ## a ##. What does he actually do to climb up? My Interpretation Let the man pull the rope at point A. So the Point A will pull the man with Tension, ## T ##. But at the same time the man is holding the rope, so there will be some normal...

I was reading this book on mechanics by derek raine and came up on something called friction paraddox. Suppose a block is is moving with constant speed and the external force is balanced by friction. We know friction causes heat dissipation and the external force supplies some energy so as to...

Given that a body is moving with a constant velocity on a rough surface. Is it possible to say that if the force (which keeps the body moving with a constant velocity) is withdrawn then the rate at which it will decelerate = limiting frictional force / mass of the body? {Force = m * a}. Thank you.

This is just a conceptual question. I get that when a car is turning on an unbanked curve, the friction provides the centripetal force. I don't understand why this is though. I thought friction is supposed to oppose the direction of motion. But that would imply that the direction...

Problem Statement: Difference between frictional force and force of friction. Relevant Equations: Difference between frictional force and force of friction. Difference between frictional force and force of friction. Are these two terms equal?

Here's the given F-t graph My Attempt... Fsmax=10N & Fk= 5N I made equatiom F=5t-5 ( by seeing Force force and Counteracting kinetic friction) reduced the formula to a=(5t-t)/2 wrote a=dv/dt and solved it but got wrong answer.

=================== Now, I can get the solution in the book by writing and solving the force and the torque equations together with the non-slipping relation between the angular acceleration and the center of mass acceleration. However, the book solution only arises if there no friction between...

I've witnessed 1st-hand with my own eyeballs this guy riding an S-shaped path through chicane at Thunderhill East+West 5-mile combined course with front-wheel IN THE AIR! I believe bike is a Yamaha TZ250, 100-120bhp and 200-lbs weight. I conducted an experiment to document behavior of single...

I calculated friction = 1N.But since force is more than maximum friction,therefore lower block will not move and a force of 0.5N will be applied to upper block. Therefore its work done by friction will be W=0.5×6=3 J. But answer given is 1 J. Can anyone help.

Suppose a metal disk is spinning at constant rate of one cycle per second and at a radius of about four inches a small metal block is pressed against the disk. The circumference of the path of the contact is exactly one foot. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the disk and the small...

Hello, do someone have time to help me out with an assignment? My question In the answer sheet they say: What I do not understand is why m is withdrawn from both sides, since I don't see that those represent the same mass. When I did the assignment I thought m at the left side would be the...

Friction is commonly thought to arise from the electromagnetic forces of the atoms at the boundary between two surfaces in contact. However it occurs to me that, in addition to charge quanta, there are also mass quanta present in this system and they could very well play a role. Now, I'm just...

Hello, I have a cuboid on two different surfaces. I am applying a changeable force F to it, but it should stay on the same point / in static friction. I now want to calculate the combined (static) friction coefficient μ_combined out of the two known coefficients of cuboid to surface 1 μ_1 and...

It seems to me that this transition implies going from kinetic friction to static friction. The kinetic friction would apply a torque that would slow down the object's angular velocity, but I'm not sure how this connects to the object suddenly transitioning into rotating without slipping.

Summary: Relation between deformed foil and friction force Good morning everyone, i have a small leaf or steel that is bent from one side by a Pressure of many bars. in front of the leaf there's a rotating disk, separated by the leaf by a small gap. this leaf, as it deforms, wins the gaps and...

I feel like it would go on the side of the energy the object has where it starts - an object dropped off a cliff would be modeled U - W = K but an object thrown upwards from ground level would be K - W = U. I am not sure though.

(The weight scale = 10 kg). After initial force, now the mass is lowering down at constant speed of 1 m/s. The motor with pulley's radius of 1 meter is exerted 100 Newton m to keep constant V. The motor speed is about 9.55 rpm. * All other weights, inertia and frictions of the system is...

I tried to find the force of friction using the the coefficient of kinetic friction with the equation F=nukmgcos Ѳ. Then I made the force of friction equal to the force of pull. I don't know what I'm doing wrong as I'm getting the wrong answer. I have attached a picture of my work.

Fg = mg = 50 * 10 = 500 N Fn = mg-ma = 500 - (50.0)(1.0) = 500-50 = 450 I don't necessarily know if this is right and I can't seem to find the Ff or coefficient of friction either. Please Help!

I am testing a new note-taking method which I invented recently in order to help filter out irrelevant information and focus on what is actually useful and worth noting down/remembering. I then applied this to the Friction chapter in the tipler/mosca textbook as a way of testing out how this...

Hi everyone, I'm trying to derive DC motor differential equations. I have some doubts: I have a viscous friction coefficient in terms of N*m*s. Is it possible to express it in terms of N*m*s/rad? And how? Some exercises show this value in Newton-meter-second and others in...

Consider a block on a sheet of paper. If the sheet is pulled without sliding the block, who has done work on the block (since it has undergone a kinetic energy variation)? I can not see another force doing work other than the static frictional force on the block.

I think I am on the right path but I'm having trouble cancelling out the mass of the wallet. I drew a free body diagram and know that there are three forces acting on the wallet: gravity, friction, and normal force (including the van's acceleration). The y-component of the friction and normal...
