Q

It is the friction, experienced by a body when it slides over another body

A

Sliding friction

17
Q

is the ratio of limiting friction to the normal reaction, between the two bodies, and is generally denoted by μ.

A

coefficient of friction

18
Q

laws of static friction

A
  1. The force of friction always acts in a direction, opposite to that in which the body tends to move, if the force of friction would have been absent.
  2. The magnitude of the force of friction is exactly equal to the force, which tends to move the body.
  3. The magnitude of the limiting friction bears a constant ratio to the normal reaction between the two surfaces.
  4. The force of friction is independent of the area of contact between the two surfaces.
  5. The force of friction depends upon the roughness of the surfaces.
19
Q

laws of kinetic or dynamic friction

A
  1. The force of friction always acts in a direction, opposite to that in which the body is moving.
  2. The magnitude of kinetic friction bears a constant ratio to the normal reaction between the two surfaces. But this ratio is slightly less than that in case of limiting friction.
  3. For moderate speeds, the force of friction remains constant. But it decreases slightly with the increase of speed.
20
Q

The term that means that the cables are incapable of developing internal forces other than tension.

A

flexible

21
Q

the force of friction has a remarkable property of adjusting its ___, explain

A

magnitude, so as to become exactly equal and opposite to the applied force, which tends to produce motion.

22
Q

coefficient of friction

A

µ = F/N= tan φ
or
F=µN

φ - angle of friction
F - limiting friction
N - normal force

23
Q

A

= W × (sin (α - φ))/cos φ

24
Q

P2, maximum force

A

= W × (sin (α + φ))/cos φ
