Friction - Class Presentation
Introduction
• In preceding chapters, it was assumed that surfaces in contact were either
frictionless (surfaces could move freely with respect to each other) or rough
(tangential forces prevent relative motion between surfaces).
• However, the friction forces are limited in magnitude and will not prevent
motion if sufficiently large forces are applied.
• The distinction between frictionless and rough is, therefore, a matter of degree.
• There are two types of friction: dry or Coulomb friction and fluid friction. Fluid
friction applies to lubricated mechanisms. The present discussion is limited to
dry friction between nonlubricated surfaces.
The Laws of Dry Friction. Coefficients of
Friction
• Block of weight W placed on horizontal
surface. Forces acting on block are its weight
and reaction of surface N.
• Kinetic-friction force:

Solving
F 69.3 N , N C 236 N x 0.00908m 9.08mm
Solution
Since F = 69.3N < 70.8N, the crate will not slip though it
is close to doing so.

Frictional Forces on Screws
Frictional Analysis
• The collar bearing on the shaft is subjected to an axial
force P and has a total contact area π(R22 – R12)
• Normal pressure p is considered to be uniformly
distributed over this area – a reasonable assumption
provided the bearing is new and evenly distributed
• Since ∑Fz = 0,
p measured as a force per unit area
p = P/π(R22 – R12)

Solution
Part (a)
FBD of the pulley is shown.
As tension T is increased, the pulley will roll around the
shaft to point before motion P2 impends.
Friction circle’s radius, rf = r sinΦs.
Using the simplification,
sin s (tan s s )
rf r s (5mm)(0.4) 2mm
Part (a)
For radius of friction circle,
rf r sin s 5 sin 21.8 1.86mm
Therefore,
M P2 0;
981N (50mm 1.86mm) T (50mm 1.86mm) 0
T 1057 N 1.06kN
Example
Part (b)
When the block is lowered, the resultant force R acting on
the shaft passes through the point P3.
