34. Case Study

Satellites in a circular orbits around the earth in the equatorial plane with T = 24 hours are
called Geostationary Satellites. Clearly, since the earth rotates with the same period, the
satellite would appear fixed from any point on earth. It takes very powerful rockets to throw up
a satellite to such large heights above the earth but this has been done in view of the several
benefits of much practical application. Weight of an object is the force with which the earth
attracts it. We are conscious of our own weight when we stand on a surface, since the surface
exerts a force opposite to our weight to keep us at rest. The same principle holds good when
we measure the weight of an object by a Spring balance hung from a fixed point e.g. the ceiling.
The object would fall down unless it is subject to a force opposite to gravity. This is exactly what
the spring exerts on the object.

35. Case Study:

Friction: Let us return to the example of a body of mass m at rest on a horizontal table. The
force of gravity (mg) is cancelled by the normal reaction force (N) of the table. Now suppose a
force F is applied horizontally to the body. We know from experience that a small applied force
may not be enough to move the body. But if the applied force F were the only external force on
the body, it must move with acceleration F/m, however small. Clearly, the body remains at rest
because some other force comes into play in the horizontal direction and opposes the applied
force F, resulting in zero net force on the body. This force fs parallel to the surface of the body
in contact with the table is known as frictional force, or simply friction. When there is no
applied force, there is no static friction. It comes into play the moment there is an applied force.
As the applied force F increases, fs also increases, remaining equal and opposite to the applied
force (up to a certain limit), keeping the body at rest. Hence, it is called static friction. Static
friction opposes impending motion. The term impending motion means motion that would take
place (but does not actually take place) under the applied force, if friction were absent. It is
found experimentally that the limiting value of static friction (fs ) max f is independent of the
area of contact and varies with the normal force(N) approximately as :

(fs ) max = μ N
where μs is a constant of proportionality depending only on the nature of the surfaces in
contact. The constant μs is called the coefficient of static friction. The law of static friction may
thus be written as
fs ≤ μsN
Frictional force that opposes relative motion between surfaces in contact is called kinetic or
sliding friction and is denoted by fk . Kinetic friction, like static friction, is found to be
independent of the area of contact. Further, it is nearly independent of the velocity. It satisfies
a law similar to that for static friction:
fk= μkN
1) Force of static friction is directly proportional to which Physical quantity .
2) Coefficient of kinetic friction is independent of area of contact. Explain by example.
