Question

A dimensionless quantity named after this force can be calculated using the Haaland equation or the Darcy-Weisbach equation. (10[2])A quantity named after this force is plotted against the Hersey number on a Stribeck (-5[1])curve. This non-electrostatic force is independent of velocity by Coulomb’s law, and is independent of apparent surface area by the second of Amontons’ laws. (10[1])Electricity is produced (10[1])by this force in the triboelectric effect. The static form of this force equals the (10[1])normal (10[1])force times (10[1])its namesake coefficient, denoted (10[1])mu (10[1])(“moo”). Lubricants reduce the effect of this force. For 10 points, name this force that resists objects sliding past each other. ■END■ (10[1])

ANSWER: friction [accept Darcy-Weisbach friction factor; accept coefficient of friction; accept static friction; accept dry friction]
