Test: Characteristics Of Dry Friction - 2 - Question 1

As we are using vector math to solve for the unknown forces in the free body diagrams, what is k.i?

Detailed Solution for Test: Characteristics Of Dry Friction - 2 - Question 1

As the dot product of only the same Cartesian component is unity, i.e. i.i = 1 and j.j =1, rest all remaining dot product will give 0(i.j = 0 and j.k = 0). Cross product of the same plane vectors always give zero. This is generally done because the normal forces are perpendicular to the surfaces of action of the friction.

Test: Characteristics Of Dry Friction - 2 - Question 2

The three force system can also be in the equilibrium if:

Detailed Solution for Test: Characteristics Of Dry Friction - 2 - Question 2

Even if the forces components cancels each other than the body is said to be in equilibrium. Also it should satisfy whether the moments caused by the forces are equal to zero or not. This means that we need to take components of the normal and frictional forces so as to make the desired calculations.

Test: Characteristics Of Dry Friction - 2 - Question 6

The maximum value of the frictional force is called _________

Detailed Solution for Test: Characteristics Of Dry Friction - 2 - Question 6

The friction is the phenomena that defines that there is a resistance which is present there between the two surfaces. The two surfaces are in contact and the friction applies at that surface only, resisting the motion of the surface. Thus the maximum values is called as limiting friction.

Test: Characteristics Of Dry Friction - 2 - Question 7

When the body which is applied forces come in the stage of the limiting friction then the body is termed as to come in ___________ equilibrium.

Detailed Solution for Test: Characteristics Of Dry Friction - 2 - Question 7

As the limiting friction is the maximum value of the frictional forces. Thus if more force is applied to the body then the body is going to move forward. Because the two surfaces are in contact and the friction applies at that surface only, resisting the motion of the surface. Thus the name unstable equilibrium.

Test: Characteristics Of Dry Friction - 2 - Question 8

The frictional force is directly proportional to the ____________

Detailed Solution for Test: Characteristics Of Dry Friction - 2 - Question 8

The frictional force is directly proportional to the vertical force that is being applied normal to the surface of the body. The force of friction is not dependent on the type of the surface. Thus the only thing the frictional force does depend is the normal force.

The coefficient of kinetic friction is ____________ than coefficient of static friction.

Detailed Solution for Test: Characteristics Of Dry Friction - 2 - Question 14

The coefficient of kinetic friction is smaller than coefficient of static friction. The main thing about the kinetic one is that it is applied by the surface when the body is in motion. The static one is applied to the body when the body is static and is about to move.

Test: Characteristics Of Dry Friction - 2 - Question 15

The kinetic friction is applied when the body is __________

Detailed Solution for Test: Characteristics Of Dry Friction - 2 - Question 15

The kinetic friction is applied to the body by the surface when the body is moving. This means there is friction present and the coefficient of that friction is smaller than the static one. The main observation is that this is applied when the static friction attends its maximum value.
