Measuring the coefficient of friction

[QUOTE="Cheesycheese213, post: 6262175, member: 617291"] Hi! Sorry if this isn't a good question, but for an experiment, I wanted to try measuring the coefficient of friction of frozen solutions, but wasn't sure how to do it? I thought that since ice would have a low coefficient of friction, it would be interesting to see if solutions with water and some other solute would affect that? I thought also that since the friction from ice so low, I would have to choose the other material as something that has more friction so it's easier to measure (maybe rubber?), but then I wasn't sure how to do the actual ice part. When we did those experiments in class, we used a ramp and a block to find the coefficient of friction between the two, but I was wondering if it would be okay if we had the ramp stay as the same material, and then change the "block", which would be the ice? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
