Friction Mass Loss: Formula to Find Lost Mass

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the loss of mass in solid bodies due to friction when moving across hard surfaces. It highlights that materials, such as glass on concrete, can experience mass loss through abrasion. The extent of this mass loss is influenced by the nature of the materials in contact. Participants seek a general formula to quantify the mass lost due to friction, emphasizing the need for a more appropriate forum for detailed answers.

When a solid body is moving on any hard surface due to friction it will lose some very little part of its body; as when we take a broken piece of glass and rub it on the concrete surface, it loses some mass of its initial mass. so, what is the general formula of finding the lost mass due to friction of that type?

The mass loss due to abrasion depends on the nature of the materials involved. (I'll move this thread to a more appropriate forum so you'll be more likely to get a useful answer.)
