UNIT 4
FRICTION J3010/4/2
4.0 INTRODUCTION
When two bodies are in contact with one another, due to gravitational or
external forces, a force called the frictional force is exerted between the
contacting surfaces which tends to prevent movement between them. This
tendency to prevent sliding is called friction.
Coefficient of Friction
It is the ratio of the limiting friction to the normal reaction, between the two
bodies and generally denoted . Mathematically:
NRF
where is the term coefficient of friction and it is constant.
Fig. 4.1
INPUT
When a person is walking there is a
tendency for the feet to slip backwards.
Friction between the feet and the ground,
which acts in the forward direction
prevents the feet from slipping backwards.

4.1 MOTION UP THE PLANE: PULL P PARALLEL TO PLANE
The friction force F opposes the motion of the body up the plane.
Fig. 4.2
The angle between W and RN is , the angle of the plane.
Resolving perpendicular to the plane:
cosWRN
Resolving parallel to the plane:
sinWFP
and for limiting friction:
Example 4.1
Find the pull required to move a load of 30 kg up a rough plane, the pull
being applied parallel to the plane. The inclination of the plane at 30˚ and
pull of 6 kg to a similar smooth inclined plane, would keep the same load in
equilibrium. The coefficient of friction is 0.3.

Solution 4.1
Fig. 4.3
Given:
W = 30 kg μ = 0.3 Pull, P = 6 kg α = 30˚
Force of friction, F = 0 (smooth surface)
Let angle of inclination = θ
Resolving the force along the inclined plane,
cos 30˚ = 30 sin θ
sin θ =30
30cos6 0

866.06x
= 0.1732
θ = 9˚ 58’
Resolving the forces along the inclined plane,
P = F + 30 sin 9˚ 58’
= 0.3 R + 30 sin 9˚ 58’ ----- (i)
Resolving the forces at right angle to the plane,
P = 30 cos 9˚ 58’ ----- (ii)
Substituting the value of R in equation (i)
P = 0.3 x 30 cos 9˚ 58’ + 30 sin 9˚ 58’
= 0.3 x 30 (0.9849) + 30 (0.1732)
= 14.06 kg

4.2 MOTION DOWN THE PLANE: PULL P PARALLEL TO PLANE
Fiq. 4.4
When the body is pulled down the plane by the pull P the component of the
weight down the slope assist the pull.
Resolving down parallel and perpendicular to the plane:
NRFWP sin
and
cosWRN
If the pull P is acting up the plane (Fiq. 4.5) and resisting the downward
motion of the body, then when the body is just about to move down,
Fiq. 4.5
we have,

cosWRN
and
NRF

When P = 0, the component of the weight down the slope is just able to
overcome the friction force F,

Fiq. 4.7
4.1 Determine the magnitude of the push P (Fig.4.7) that will have the wooden
crate on the point of sliding. Coefficient of friction between the crate and the
floor is 0.55. Wooden crate = 20.41 kg.
4.2 A 2 tonne truck is pulled at uniform speed up an inclined of 1 in 10 along the
slope by a rope, parallel to the inclined. The rope passes over a frictionless
pulley at the top of the inclined and has a 275 kg mass hanging freely at its
end. Find the resistance to motion parallel to the inclined.
4.3 A pull of 550 N parallel to an inclined plane is required to just move a mass
of 50 kg up the plane. If a pull is applied parallel to the plane to drag the
mass down at a steady speed of 4 m/s, what is the power required? The plane
is inclined at 30 to the horizontal.
4.4 A load of mass 1350 kg lies on a gradient of 60 to the horizontal. If static
friction s = 0.5 and kinetic friction, k = 0.4. Calculate:
(i) the pull parallel to the gradient required to prevent the load from
sliding down,
(ii) the pull required to haul the load up the gradient at uniform speed.

4.4 APPLICATION OF ANGLE OF FRICTION TO MOTION ON THE
INCLINED PLANE.
Fiq. 4.9
Fig. 4.9 shows a body being moved up a plane by means of a horizontal pull
P. Since motion is up the plane, R must have a component down the plane to
provide the resisting friction force and is therefore directed as shown. The
pull P, weight W and resultant R form a triangle of forces and since P and W
are at right angles, thus
)tan( WP
Fiq. 4.10
Figure 4.10 shows the case whose body is just about to move down the plane
against a resisting horizontal force P.
From the triangle of forces:
)tan( WP
In this case the angle of the plane is greater than the angle of friction .
FRICTION J3010/4/11
Example 4.3
A casting of mass 2 tonnes is to be pulled up a slope inclined at 30 by a pull
at an angle to the slope. If the coefficient of friction is 0.3. Find the least
force required and its direction to the horizontal.
Solution 4.3
Fiq. 4.10
From the triangle of forces:
Hence, the minimum value of P is given by:
P = W sin (30 + ) where tan = 0.3 or = 16˚ 42’
W = Mg
= 2 x 9.8
= 19.6 kN
hence,
P = 19.6 sin 46˚ 42’
= 14.25 kN
