Session Opener A recent space shuttle accident occurred because of failure of heat protecting devices. How was this heat generated ?
Session Objective • Friction & frictional force • Bodies connected in frictional surface • Kinetic friction • Static friction • Angle of friction • Coefficient of friction • Laws of friction
Friction and Frictional Force Whenever an object moves or tends to move, contact surfaces of object resist the force tending to generate motion. This property of the surface is friction The resistive force is the friction force
Bodies Connected in Frictional Surface Consider the experiment : 1. F applied. ‘A’ does not move. 2. ‘A’ still at rest on increased F. A f adjusts to match F f MA MB An equal and opposite force f acts
Bodies Connected in Frictional Surface r 3. increased further F A has acceleration. f has a maximum limiting value A moves uniformly f during the motion is lower than at rest. 4. is reduced F F F F F F F F F F f f f f f f f f f f MB
Bodies Connected in Frictional Surface Friction force (f) is zero if no external force ( ) exists f adjusts to stay equal and opposite to Friction retards motion f has a limiting value moving friction force is less than friction force at rest.
Bodies Connected in Frictional Surface F f Friction force is a contact force, independent of area of contact. Friction force is a non-conservative force as mechanical energy changes to heat during friction. That is why the space shuttle overheated and exploded
Kinetic Friction appears when two objects in contact have relative motion. Directed opposite the direction of motion fk is a constant. F A fk fk F fk B fk on B may start the motion of B.
Static Friction N fs mg F Fcos F has component along contact surface, but there is no motion. f acts along the surface and opposite the force component f = Fcos till limiting friction. At limiting friction f(=fs) is constant fs > fk
Blocks A and B are pressed against a smooth wall and are in equilibrium by a horizontal force F as shown. Then friction force due to A on B (a) upward (b) downward (c) dependent on relative mass of A and B (d) system cannot be in equilibrium Class Exercise - 1
Solution As wall is smooth, A and B will keep slipping down with acceleration g and cannot be in equilibrium. Hence answer is (d).
Coefficients of Friction Limiting static friction Kinetic friction are coefficient of friction
Coefficients of Friction Limiting friction Static region Kinetic region Graphically
Laws of Friction 1. Bodies slip over each other 3. Bodies do not slip over each other N is called the limiting friction. 4. do not depend upon the area of contact. 2. Direction of kinetic friction is opposite to the velocity
An object of mass m is pressed against a wall with a force F and is in equilibrium. The coefficient of friction between the wall and the object is m. Then F must be equal to (a) (b) (c) mg (d) cannot be found Class Exercise - 4
Solution As equilibrium exists, wall presses against the object by a force of F (equal and opposite to force exerted by object against the wall) At equilibrium
Three blocks of masses ma,mb and mc are arranged on a smooth horizontal surface as shown. Surface between ma andmb is smooth and the coefficient of friction between mb and mc is m .Then the minimum force F required to keep mb from sliding down is: a b c d Class Exercise - 5
Solution Let the force F give an acceleration a to the system To give an acceleration a to mc, mb presses against mc with force mca, so mc gives a normal reaction mc a (to left) on mb. for mb not slipping down
A block of mass M is kept in a lift. Coefficient of friction between the block and the lift is m. The force required to initiate horizontal motion of the block is maximum when (a) Lift is moving up with constant acceleration (b) Lift is moving down with constant acceleration • (c) Lift is stationary • (d) Lift is in free fall Class Exercise - 6
Condition of motion of M: Solution F is largest when N is maximum N is maximum when lift moves up with constant acceleration a [N = m(g + a)]. So F is maximum at that condition.
