Question

how do we reduce friction while playing carrom​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the case of the carrom board, the same thing happens. By sprinkling powder, what happens is the powder dust will fill the small unseen gaps and make the board smoother. This will help the surface of the coins and the striker to overcome the friction. Thus it will reduce friction.

Answer 2

Friction while playing carrom​:

• You must have used powder to help the striker glide smoothly over the board while playing carrom.
• So we use powder to reduce friction between the board and the striker. The powder fills in the gaps in the imperfections, allowing the striker to glide across the board smoothly.
• When we apply oil, grease, or graphite between the moving parts of a machine, a thin coating forms, preventing moving surfaces from rubbing against each other.
• The presence of oil or grease between imperfections prevents them from joining.
