1) Friction arises due to contact between two surfaces and depends on the normal and tangential forces between the surfaces. The normal force acts perpendicular to the surfaces in contact while friction acts parallel but opposite to the direction of relative motion.
2) Friction problems involve finding equilibrium between the forces acting on an object, with one of the forces (friction) being dependent on another (normal force).
3) The coefficient of friction determines the maximum static and kinetic frictional forces, which are equal to the normal force multiplied by the respective coefficient.

1. Friction
Cause of dry friction
Contact between two surfaces.
Hence first task in a friction problem is correct
identification of contact surfaces
Identify the surface, the normal and the tangential
vectors.
Also important is to get an idea of probable direction
of relative motion
The contact force acts along the normal.
Gravity is the most common cause of normal force.
Friction acts along the tangent plane opposite to the
direction of relative motion
Normal
Relative velocity

There is a critical value of friction
coefficient beyond which the thread
does not move irrespective of the
force applied.
This happens when a screw is not
maintained properly. Because of dirt

critical.

? Angle b must be expressed in radians
? Smallest mb determines which pulley slips
first
? Larger tension occurs at that end of the
belt where relative motion is about to begin or
is already moving
? T2 is used to denote the larger tension
? A freely rotating pulley implies no friction
? For a rotating pulley where slipping is
about to start friction is ms since relative
velocity between belt and pulley is zero.
? Once slipping starts friction coefficient is
dynamic or kinetic i.e. mk
? If pulley does not rotate at all then rope
has to slide and not slip, hence friction is mk
