LILAVATIBAI PODAR HIGH SCHOOL, ISC Sub: PHYSICS Academic Year 202425 Grade: XI FRICTION DERIVATIONS: Q.1. Define angle of friction. Deduce its relation with coefficient of friction. Ans. Angle of friction: The angle of friction may be defined as the angle which the resultant of the limiting friction and the normal reaction makes with the normal reaction.

Why is it easier to pull a lawn roller than to push it? Explain. Ans. (i) Pulling a roller: R : normal reaction F : force applied to pull a lawn 4 LILAVATIBAI PODAR HIGH SCHOOL, ISC Sub: PHYSICS Academic Year 202425 Grade: XI FRICTION R + F sin  = W R = W  F sin  fk : force of kinetic friction fk = kR = k(W  F sin ) … (1) (ii) Pushing a roller: Here, F sin  acts in the downward direction. R' = W + F sin  fk' = kR' fk' = k(W + F sin ) … (2) From (1) and (2), Force of kinetic friction is more in case of pushing rather than pulling so it is easier to pull a body than to push it. FRICTION: Friction: Whenever a body moves or tends to move over the surface of another body, a force comes into play which acts parallel to the surface of contact and opposes the relative motion. This opposing force is called friction. 5 LILAVATIBAI PODAR HIGH SCHOOL, ISC Sub: PHYSICS Academic Year 202425 Grade: XI FRICTION Direction of motion Force of friction Direction of motion Force of friction Friction as the component of contact force: The component of the contact force F normal to the contact surface is called normal force or normal reaction N. The component parallel to the contact surface is called friction. F = contact force N = normal force f = friction Origin of friction: The force of friction is due to the atomic or molecular forces of attraction between the two surfaces at the points of actual contacts. Apparent area of contact Actual area of contact 6 LILAVATIBAI PODAR HIGH SCHOOL, ISC Sub: PHYSICS Academic Year 202425 Grade: XI FRICTION STATIC, LIMITING AND KINETIC FRICTIONS: F fs F fs (a) (b) max F fs F fs (c) (d) v a F fk F fk (e) (f) Types of friction The force of friction which comes into play between two bodies before one body actually starts moving over the other is called static friction (fs). max The maximum force of static friction (fs ) which comes into play when a body just starts moving over the surface of another body is called limiting friction. Clearly, max fs  fs. The force of friction which comes into play when a body is in a state of steady motion over the surface of another body is called kinetic or dynamic friction (fk). Variation of the force of friction 'f' with the applied force F: Obviously, as the applied force F increases, the static friction fs increases accordingly to balance it. This shows that static friction is a self adjusting force. The kinetic friction is max max always less than the limiting friction fs , i.e., fk < fs. s) (f  on Friction (f) cti fri Limiting Kinetic ic friction (fsmax) at friction (fk) St Applied force (F) LAWS OF FRICTION AND COEFFICIENTS OF FRICTION: Laws of limiting fiction: (i) The limiting friction depends on the nature of the surfaces in contact and their state of polish. (ii) The limiting friction acts tangential to the two surfaces in contact and in a direction opposite to the direction of motion of the body. (iii) The value of limiting friction is independent of the area of the surface in contact so long as the normal reaction remains the same. 7 LILAVATIBAI PODAR HIGH SCHOOL, ISC Sub: PHYSICS Academic Year 202425 Grade: XI FRICTION max (iv) The limiting fraction (fs ) is directly proportional to the normal reaction R between the two surfaces. max i.e., fs R max or fs =  sR max fs Limiting friction or s = = R Normal reaction The proportionality constant s is called coefficient of static friction. It is defined as the ratio of limiting friction to the normal reaction. R F f W Laws of kinetic friction: (i) The kinetic friction opposes the relative motion and has a constant value, depending on the nature of the two surfaces in contact. (ii) The value of kinetic friction fk is independent of the area of contact so long as the normal reaction remains the same. (iii) The kinetic friction does not depend on velocity, provided the velocity is neither too large nor too small. (iv) The value of kinetic friction fk is directly proportional to the normal reaction R between the two surfaces. i.e., fk  R or fk = kR fk Kinetic friction or k = = R Normal reaction The proportionality constant k is called coefficient of kinetic friction. It is defined as the ratio of kinetic friction to the normal reaction. max As fk < fs or kR < 2R  k < s 8 LILAVATIBAI PODAR HIGH SCHOOL, ISC Sub: PHYSICS Academic Year 202425 Grade: XI FRICTION FORMULAE USED Limiting friction 1.
