ves the friction of quiescence. 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,… … HURTFUL RESISTANCES. 133 There is a second method of finding the value of/ 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…
