Laws Of Friction


Law Of Friction:

(i)                Anonton’s First Law:-    According to this Law, the friction between two solids is independent of the area of contact.  For example  a Bricks slides over a flat surface than the friction will be same whether it is sliding on its end or its side or its base, because the actual area of contact is always smaller than the apparent area.

(ii)             Anonton’s Second Law:-  According to this Law, the friction force is proportional to the load exerted by one surface over the another . For example- If a brick is placed on the Top of the another brick the friction will be doubled and the another brick is placed on the second brick, than the friction will get trebled and so on.

                         f α w            

                   f= Kw                K or µ= coefficient of friction

            µ or K= f/w         f= friction, w=weight(load)

Properties of Lubricants

Properties of Lubricants:- Lubricants have several properties, some important properties are given below:- 1.       Viscosity:                              It is the property of a liquid or a fluid by virtue of which it offers resistance to its own flow. If two layers of a liquid separated by a distance’s and moving with a relative velocity difference ‘v’ then force per unit area(f) required to maintain this velocity difference is given by-                                                 f=nv/d Where n is the coefficient of viscosity. Viscosity is the most important property of ...

Lubricants

Lubricants:-                         Those substance which is applied between two moving or sliding surface in order to reduce the frictional resistance called lubricant. Function of Lubricant:-        I.             It reduce the frictional forces between two rubbing surfaces.     II.             It reduces the cost of maintenance of the machines and tools.   III.             It acts as a cleaning agent to wash off the solid carbon.   IV.             It acts as a seal and prevents the entry of moisture i.e leakage of gases under high pressure.     V.    ...
