Explain impending motion. What are Laws of Limiting Friction?
Answers
Answer:
The impending motion refers to the state of a body when it is on the verge of slipping. In such cases, the static friction has reached its upper limit and is given by the equation
F=μsN
The direction of the frictional force is always opposite to the pending relative motion of the surfaces. If the applied force (P) increases then the frictional force (F) also increases, until F<FS(limiting static frictional force). When F = FS, then the body possesses an unstable equilibrium and will move.
Explanation:
impending motion : impending motion refers to the state just before surfaces start to slip .In this case static frictional force has reached its upper limit and is given by the equation .The direction of the frictional force is opposite to the pending relative motion of the surfaces ..
