scence. If the weightF is such as to keep the body 0 in uniform motion, theresulting value of f will correspond to friction of motion. The value of/, for any substance, is called the unit, orcoefficient of friction. Hence, we may define the unit, orcoefficient of friction, to be the friction due to… … Fis. 93. There is a second method of finding the value of f ex-perimentally, as follows: Let AB be an inclined plane, formed of one of the sub-stances, and 0 a cubical block,formed of the other substance,and resting upon it. Elevate theplane till the block just begins toslide down the plane by its…
