What is meant by
Friction?
Friction
V
Friction
A force that resists the movement of two
contacting surfaces that slide relative to one
another.
Friction force always acts tangent to the
surface at the points of contact and is directed
so as to oppose the possible or existing motion
between the surfaces
Friction - Undesirable
Bearings
Power screws
Gears
Propulsion of aircraft and missiles through
atmosphere
Minimize the friction forces
Friction - Desirable
Brakes
Clutches
Belt drives
Wheeled vehicles (to start and stop)
Ordinary Walking
Maximize the friction forces
Friction - Effects
Whenever there is a sliding motion
between parts, the friction forces result in
a loss of energy which is dissipated in
the form of heat.
Wear is another effect of friction
Friction - Types
Dry Friction
Occurs when the unlubricated surfaces of two
solids are in contact under a condition of sliding
Also called as Coulomb Friction
Fluid Friction
Occurs between the rubbing surfaces, when
the surfaces have a thick layer of lubricant
This is due to the oiliness of the lubricant

A loading car is at rest on an inclined track. The gross weight of the car and
its load is 5500 lb, and it is applied at at G. The cart is held in position by
the cable. Determine the tension in the cable and the reaction at each pair
of wheels. (Ra = 562 lb, Rb = 1758 lb, T = 4980 lb)
