For an applied force on the brake pads, how can we determine the magnitude and direction of the resulting friction force? The rope is used to tow the refrigerator. In order to move the refrigerator, is it best to pull up as shown, pull horizontally, or pull downwards on the rope? What physical factors affect the answer to this question? 1 CHARACTERISTICS OF DRY FRICTION Friction is defined as a force of resistance acting on a body which prevents or retards slipping of the body relative to a second body. Experiments show that frictional forces act tangent (parallel) to the contacting surface in a direction opposing the relative motion or tendency for motion. For the body shown in the figure to be in equilibrium, the following must be true: Fx = 0 OR F = P, Fy = 0 OR N = W, and MO = 0 OR W*x = P*h. CHARACTERISTICS OF DRY FRICTION (continued) Static friction Kinetic friction To study the characteristics of the friction force F, let us assume that tipping does not occur (i.e., “h” is small or “a” is large). Then we gradually increase the magnitude of the force P. Typically, experiments show that the friction force F varies with P, as shown in the right figure above. FA = Applied Force; Ff = Frictional force For Static Friction: FA = Ff For Kinetic Friction: FA > Ff 2 CHARACTERISTICS OF DRY FRICTION (continued) The maximum friction force is attained just before the block begins to move (a situation that is called “impending motion”). The value of the force is found using Fs = s N, where s is called the coefficient of static friction. The value of s depends on the two materials in contact. Once the block begins to move, the frictional force typically drops and is given by Fk = k N. The value of k (coefficient of kinetic friction) is less than s (i.e. s > k ) CHARACTERISTICS OF DRY FRICTION (continued) Static friction FA Kinetic friction FA < Fs PA It is also very important to note that the friction force may be less than the maximum friction force. So, just because the object is not moving, don’t assume the friction force is at its maximum of Fs = s N unless you are told or know motion is impending! • • s depends on the two materials involved and their surface properties. How to find the value of s ? (See next slides) 3 DETERMINING s EXPERIMENTALLY (Method – 1) If the block just begins to slip, the maximum friction force is Fs = s N, where s is the coefficient of static friction. Thus, when the block is on the verge of sliding, the normal force N and frictional force Fs combine to create a resultant Rs From the figure, tan s = ( Fs / N ) = (s N / N ) = s So, Fs = s N and tan s = s DETERMING s EXPERIMENTALLY (Method – 2) s A block with weight W is placed on an inclined plane. The plane is slowly tilted until the block just begins to slip. The inclination, s , is noted. Analysis of the block just before it begins to move gives (using Fs = s N): + F┴ = N – W cos s = 0 + F║ = S N – W sin s = 0 s W Using these two equations, we get s = (W sin s ) / (W cos s ) = tan s This simple experiment allows us to find the S between two materials in contact. 4 PROBLEMS INVOLVING DRY FRICTION Steps for solving equilibrium problems involving dry friction: 1. Draw the necessary free body diagrams. Make sure that you show the friction force in the correct direction (it always opposes the motion or impending motion). 2. Determine the number of unknowns. Do not assume FS = S N unless the impending motion condition is given. 3. Apply the equations-of-equilibrium (E-of-E) and appropriate frictional equations to solve for the unknowns. IMPENDING TIPPING versus SLIPPING P h W O SLIPPING TIPPING For a given W and h of the box, how can we determine if the block will slide or tip first? In this case, we have four unknowns (F, N, x, and P) and only three E-of-E (Fx = Fy = Fz = 0). Hence, we have to make an assumption to give us another equation (the friction equation!). Then we can solve for the unknowns using the three E-of-E. Finally, we need to check if our assumption was correct. 5 IMPENDING TIPPING versus SLIPPING (continued) Assume: Slipping occurs Known: P = Fs = s N (assuming impending motion) Solve: x, P, and N Check: 0 x < b/2 Or Assume: Tipping occurs Known: x = b/2 (point of rotation at the edge) Solve: P, N, and F Check: P = F < Fs = s N PROBLEM 01 Given: A uniform ladder weighs 30 lb. The vertical wall is smooth (no friction). The floor is rough and s = 0.2. Find: Whether it remains in this position when it is released. Plan: a) Draw a FBD. b) Determine the unknowns. c) Make any necessary friction assumptions. d) Apply E-of-E (and friction equations, if appropriate ) to solve for the unknowns. e) Check assumptions, if required. 6 PROBLEM 01 (continued) FBD of the ladder NB 12 ft 12 ft 26 ft 30 lb FA NA 5 ft 5 ft There are three unknowns: NA, FA, NB. FY = NA – 30 = 0 ; so NA = 30 lb + MA = 30 ( 5 ) – NB( 24 ) = 0 ; If + FX = NB – FA > 0 so NB = 6.25 lb pole will not remain stationary <0 pole will remain stationary =0 pole will remain stationary and under ‘impending motion’ PROBLEM 01 (continued) NB FBD of the ladder 12 ft 12 ft 30 lb 5 ft 5 ft NA FA Now check the friction force to see if the ladder slides or stays. Fmax = s NA = 0.2 * 30 lb = 6 lb = FA Since NB = 6.25 lb > FA NB – FA > 0 pole will not remain stationary the pole will not remain stationary. < 0 pole will remain stationary = 0 pole will remain stationary and under It will move. ‘impending motion’ 7 PROBLEM 02 Given: Refrigerator weight = 180 lb, s = 0.25 Find: The smallest magnitude of P that will cause impending motion (tipping or slipping) of the refrigerator. Plan: a) Draw a FBD of the refrigerator. b) Determine the unknowns. c) Make friction assumptions, as necessary. d) Apply E-of-E (and friction equation as appropriate) to solve for the unknowns. e) Check assumptions, as required. PROBLEM 02 (continued) FBD of the refrigerator 1.5 ft 1.5 ft P 180 lb 4 ft 3 ft o F x N There are four unknowns: P, N, F and x. First, let’s assume the refrigerator slips.

But for grass-cutter we push it. Why? A. This will create more friction, so that more grass can be cut.

A) B) C) D) B A WEDGES AND FRICTIONAL FORCES ON FLAT BELTS Wedges are used adjust the elevation provide stability heavy objects such this large steel pipe. APPLICATIONS: to or for as How can we determine the force required to pull the wedge out? When there are no applied forces on the wedge, will it stay in place (i.e., be selflocking) or will it come out on its own? Under what physical conditions will it come out? 11 APPLICATIONS (continued) Belt drives are commonly used for transmitting the torque developed by a motor to a wheel attached to a pump, fan or blower. How can we decide if the belts will function properly, i.e., without slipping or breaking? APPLICATIONS (continued) In the design of a hand brake, it is essential to analyze the frictional forces acting on the band (which acts like a belt). How can you determine the tensions in the cable pulling on the band? Also from a design perspective, how are the belt tension, the applied force P and the torque M, related? 12 ANALYSIS OF A WEDGE W A wedge is a simple machine in which a small force P is used to lift a large weight W. To determine the force required to push the wedge in or out, it is necessary to draw FBDs of the wedge and the object on top of it. It is easier to start with a FBD of the wedge since you know the direction of its motion. Note that: a) the friction forces are always in the direction opposite to the motion, or impending motion, of the wedge; b) the friction forces are along the contacting surfaces; and, c) the normal forces are perpendicular to the contacting surfaces. Forces on the wedge ANALYSIS OF A WEDGE (continued) Forces on the weight (W) Next, a FBD of the object on top of the wedge is drawn. Please note that: a) at the contacting surfaces between the wedge and the object the forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to those on the wedge; and, b) all other forces acting on the object should be shown. To determine the unknowns, we must apply E-of-E, Fx = 0 and Fy = 0, to the wedge and the object as well as the impending motion frictional equation, FS = S N. 13 ANALYSIS OF A WEDGE (continued) Now of the two FBDs, which one should we start analyzing first? We should start analyzing the FBD in which the number of unknowns are less than or equal to the number of E-of-E and frictional equations. W NOTE: If the object is to be lowered, then the wedge needs to be pulled out. If the value of the force P needed to remove the wedge is positive, then the wedge is self-locking, i.e., it will not come out on its own. BELT ANALYSIS Consider a flat belt passing over a fixed curved surface with the total angle of contact equal to radians. If the belt slips or is just about to slip, then T2 must be larger than T1 and the motion resisting friction forces. Hence, T2 must be greater than T1. Detailed analysis shows that T2 = T1 e where is the coefficient of static friction between the belt and the surface. Be sure to use radians when using this formula!! 14 EXAMPLE Given: The crate weighs 300 lb and S at all contacting surfaces is 0.3. Assume the wedges have negligible weight. Find: The smallest force P needed to pull out the wedge. Plan: 1. Draw a FBD of the crate. Why do the crate first? 2. Draw a FBD of the wedge. 3. Apply the E-of-E to the crate. 4.
