SUMMARY
The kinetic coefficient of friction for pine on pine is not a fixed value and varies based on the physical characteristics of the wood samples, including surface smoothness and moisture content. For theoretical calculations, users can refer to general values for wood on wood, which can be found on resources such as PhysLink. It is essential to measure the coefficient specific to the setup for accurate results.
