Now, in mechanics there is q
factor called the "coefficient OF
friction" which determines the
resistance to be overcome in" the
picture. This coefficient is rep
resented by the letter ''n," and
when it Is multiplied into the
downward pressure exerted by
the body to be moved, it shows
the force needed to overcome the
horizontal resistance. Put into
a formula which you may carry
in the vest pocket of your
memory, 1t reaCls F-nP. But IN"
varies in different cases, and its
amount must be previously ascer-
tanned by experiment.
For instance, II you have
smoothed stone sliding horizontal
ly on smoothed stone, IN" ex-
pressed as q decimal fraction, is
between O.50 to 0.65. If smoothed
timber slides on smoothed tim
Der, ''n' is between O.25 to O.45.
If dry metal slides on dry metal,
IN" is between 0.15 to 0.20, while
II the metal is oiled IN" shrinks
to no more than OIL and maybe so
little as 0.01.
Just to carry out the principle
we take exactly the figures you
give and make the pressure on
the table $50 pounds and the pull
ing force ten pounds. In that
case what must the coefficient Of
friction be? 1t must be 1-15th,
or in decimal form 0.0666.
This does not prove that a 10.
pressure would actually move
your cart. Either more or less
might be necessary, according to
circumstances, such as the rough.
ness of the ground, the condition
of the bearings, etc. have
simply taken your estimate.
In the case of wheeled vehicles,
however, it is not the sliding, but
the rolling friction, or traction"
that is considered, though the
fundamental principle is the same.
The coeff. .cient o; traction" is
usually represented by ''m," and
it's amount for an ordinarily
smooth earth road Is about OIL;
for a good gravel road O.O8; for
macadam road 0.04; for hard
asphalt pavement OO15; for a rail-
road track, at slow speed, O.0O2.
These estimates vary somewhat
among different authorities. They
are, of course. based on expert
ment.
