Friction

The document outlines an experiment to study the relationship between the force of limiting friction and normal reaction, as well as the coefficient of friction between a block and a horizontal surface. It details the apparatus needed, the procedure to follow, and the formulas used to calculate the limiting friction and normal reaction. Observations are to be recorded to plot a graph that demonstrates the direct proportionality of limiting friction to normal reaction.

% GRB New Era Physics Practical ( [EXPERIMENT A-9] Aim; To study the relationship between force of limiting friction and normal reaction and 1g coefficient of friction between a block and a horizontal surface. Apparatus A plane wooden board with glass top, a wooden block provided with a hook, a pulley, a pan, a thread, a spring ‘weight box and spirit evel Formula Used (i) Fora given pair of surfaces in contact, the force of limiting friction f, is directly proportional to the normal reaction (ii) The coefficient of limiting friction y, is given by __ Limiting ftiction (f1) ‘Normal reaction (R) Ky Diagram Total woight = (P +p) g wt. jure () Place the given wooden board with glass top horizontally and slightly projecting out ofthe table. Using spirit eve, the glass top exactly horizontal. ‘Check that the pulley rotates freely. If necessary, lubricate it with some suitable oil. (iii) Determine the least count and zero error, if any, in the spring balance. Find weight (W’) of the wooden block and (P) of the pan. (Gv) Tie one end of thread with the hook on the wooden block and the other end with the pan, Place the wooden block on th horizontal table. Pass the thread over the pulley with pan hanging vertically down the able but without touching it. Te part of the thread between the hook and the pulley must be horizontal, (v) Put some weights from the weight box into the pan and tap the glass surface gently. If the wooden block does not slidey eradually increase the weights in the pan tll the wooden block begins o slide on tapping the glas top. (vi) The total weigh ofthe pan and weights added into the pan gives the value of force of limiting friction /;. The weightof the wooden block gives the normal reaction R. ae 7 Place a known weight w from equal to (W +), the weight box on the wooden block and repeat the step (v). Now normal reaction Ris Take a total of six observations by chan; ising weight w on the wooden block. Pilot the graph between the limiting fret ion f and normal reaction R, by taking R along x-axis and f; along y-axis. The inthe Fig. 8.2. From the graph, itis concluded that limiting friction i directly graph is found to bea straight line as she own, proportional to the normal reaction, Scale: : 1 small division along x-axis = 10 gw. 1 small division along y-axis = 4 g wt.
