tion is the force, or pull, requiredto make a body slide when the pressure between the surfacesis one gram or one pound. Of course, the force and the press-ure must be measured ir^the same unit. ^ n tc • I. j^ c ■ i.- Force required to make body slide Coemcient of friction = -i 1 -^ ; Pressure… … velocity. The force F driving the body down the slantis then just equal to the friction. The weight of thebody, W, is a force acting on it and pulling it down. Thisforce W may be resolved, or split up, into two forces,—P, 82 PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS. the pressure perpendicular to the surface, and F,…
