60 228 Friction E3 Chapter Friction (c) Unit : It has no unit. (d) Value of  depends on material and nature of surfaces in contact that means whether dry or wet ; rough or smooth polished or nonpolished. (e) Value of  does not depend upon apparent area of contact. ID Introduction 5 Types of Friction ST U D YG (1) Static friction : The opposing force that comes into play when one body tends to move over the surface of another, but the actual motion has yet not started is called static friction. (i) If applied force is P and the R body remains at rest then static friction F = P P. F (ii) If a body is at rest and no pulling force is acting on it, force of mg friction on it is zero. Fig. 5.1 (iii) Static friction is a self-adjusting force because it changes itself in accordance with the applied force and is always equal to net external force. (2) Limiting friction : If the applied force is increased, the force of static friction also increases. If the applied force exceeds a certain (maximum) value, the body starts moving. This maximum value of static friction upto which body does not move is called limiting friction. (i) The magnitude of limiting friction between any two bodies in contact is directly proportional to the normal reaction between them. Fl  R or Fl   s R (ii) Direction of the force of limiting friction is always opposite to the direction in which one body is at the verge of moving over the other (iii) Coefficient of static friction : (a)  s is called coefficient of static friction and is defined as the ratio of force of limiting friction and F normal reaction  s  R (b) Dimension : [M 0 L0 T 0 ] (3) Kinetic or dynamic friction : If the applied force is increased further and sets the body in motion, the friction opposing the motion is called kinetic friction. (i) Kinetic friction depends upon the normal reaction. U If we slide or try to slide a body over a surface, the motion is resisted by a bonding between the body and the surface. This resistance is represented by a single force and is called friction force. The force of friction is parallel to the surface and opposite to the direction of intended motion. Fk  R or Fk  k R where  k is called the coefficient of kinetic friction (ii) Value of k depends upon the nature of surface in contact. (iii) Kinetic friction is always lesser than limiting friction Fk  Fl  k   s i.e. coefficient of kinetic friction is always less than coefficient of static friction. Thus we require more force to start a motion than to maintain it against friction. This is because once the motion starts actually ; inertia of rest has been overcome. Also when motion has actually started, irregularities of one surface have little time to get locked again into the irregularities of the other surface. (iv) Kinetic friction does not depend upon the velocity of the body. (v) Types of kinetic friction (a) Sliding friction : The opposing force that comes into play when one body is actually sliding over the surface of the other body is called sliding friction. e.g. A flat block is moving over a horizontal table. (b) Rolling friction : When objects such as a wheel (disc or ring), sphere or a cylinder rolls over a surface, the force of friction that comes into play is called rolling friction.  Rolling friction is directly proportional to the normal reaction (R) and inversely proportional to the radius (r) of the rolling cylinder or wheel. Frolling   r R r Friction  r is called coefficient of rolling friction. It would have the dimensions of length and would be measured in metre.  Rolling friction is often quite small as compared to the sliding friction. That is why heavy loads are transported by placing them on carts with wheels. 229 ma   s mg ). If there had been no friction between body and vehicle, the body will not move along with the vehicle. a smg ma  In rolling the surfaces at contact do not rub each other.  The velocity of point of contact with respect to the surface remains zero all the times although the centre of the wheel moves forward. A C B Force of friction (3) Beyond A, the force of friction is seen to decrease slightly. The portion BC of the curve represents the kinetic friction (Fk ). 60 (1) Part OA of the curve represents static friction (Fs ). Its value increases linearly with the applied force (2) At point A the static friction is maximum. This represent limiting friction (Fl ). Fig. 5.5 From these examples it is clear that without friction motion cannot be started, stopped or transferred from one body to the other. Advantages and Disadvantages of Friction (1) Advantages of friction (i) Walking is possible due to friction. E3 Graph Between Applied Force and Force of Friction (ii) Two body sticks together due to friction. Fs Fl Fk ID (4) As the portion BC O Applied force of the curve is parallel to x-axis Fig. 5.2 therefore kinetic friction does not change with the applied force, it remains constant, whatever be the applied force. Fig. 5.6 Friction is a Cause of Motion Fig. 5.7 (iii) Brake works on the basis of friction. (iv) Writing is not possible without friction. D YG U It is a general misconception that friction always opposes the motion. No doubt friction opposes the motion of a moving body but in many cases it is also the cause of motion. For example : (1) While moving, a person or vehicle pushes the ground backwards (action) and the rough surface of ground reacts and exerts a forward force due to friction which causes the motion. If there had been no friction there will be slipping and no motion. Friction ST U (2) During cycling, the rear wheel moves by the force Action communicated to it by pedalling while front wheel moves by itself. So, Fig. 5.3 when pedalling a bicycle, the force exerted by rear wheel on ground makes force of friction act on it in the forward direction (like walking). Front wheel moving by itself experience force of friction in backward direction (like rolling of a ball). [However, if pedalling is stopped both wheels move by themselves and so experience force of friction in backward direction]. (v) The transfer of motion from one part of a machine to other part through belts is possible by friction. (2) Disadvantages of friction (i) Friction always opposes the relative motion between any two bodies in contact. Therefore extra energy has to be spent in over coming friction. This reduces the efficiency of machine. (ii) Friction causes wear and tear of the parts of machinery in contact. Thus their lifetime reduces. (iii) Frictional force result in the production of heat, which causes damage to the machinery. Methods of Changing Friction We can reduce friction (1) By polishing. (2) By lubrication. (3) By proper selection of material. (4) By streamlining the shape of the body. (5) By using ball bearing. Also we can increase friction by throwing some sand on slippery ground. In the manufacturing of tyres, synthetic rubber is preferred because its coefficient of friction with the road is larger. While pedalling Pedalling is stoped Fig. 5.4 (3) If a body is placed in a vehicle which is accelerating, the force of friction is the cause of motion of the body along with the vehicle (i.e., the body will remain at rest in the accelerating vehicle until Angle of Friction Angle of friction may be defined as the angle which the resultant of limiting friction and normal reaction makes with the normal reaction.
