Types of Friction........!!
Answers
➛ Types Of Friction
Following are the friction types which depend on the types of motion:
- ➛Static Friction
- ➛Sliding Friction
- ➛Rolling Friction
- ➛Fluid Friction
Static Friction:-
Static friction is defined as the frictional force that acts between the surfaces when they are at rest with respect to each other.
Static Friction Examples:-
➛Following are the examples of static friction:
- Skiing against the snow
- Creating heat by rubbing both the hands together
- Table lamp resting on the table
Sliding Friction:-
Sliding friction is defined as the resistance that is created between any two objects when they are sliding against each other.
Examples Of Sliding Friction:-
➛Following are the examples of sliding friction:
- Sliding of the block across the floor
- Two cards sliding against each other in a deck
Rolling friction:-
Rolling friction is defined as the force which resists the motion of a ball or wheel and is the weakest types of friction.
Examples Of Rolling Friction:-
➛Following are the examples of rolling friction:
- Rolling of the log on the ground
- Wheels of the moving vehicles
Fluid friction:-
Fluid friction is defined as the friction that exists between the layers of the fluid when they are moving relative to each other.
Examples Of Fluid Friction:-
➛Following are the examples of fluid friction:
- The flow of ink in pens
- Swimming

✍️Static Friction
What Is Static Friction?
Static friction is defined as
the frictional force that acts between the surfaces when they are at rest with respect to each other.
The magnitude of the static force is equal in the opposite direction when a small amount of force is applied. When the force increases, at some point maximum static friction is reached.
Static Friction Examples
Following are the examples of static friction:
◾Skiing against the snow
◾Creating heat by rubbing both the hands together
◾Table lamp resting on the table
◾Coefficient Of Static Friction
◾The coefficient of static friction is denoted as µs. The maximum force of static friction is given as the product of ◾the coefficient of static friction and normal force and force of static friction is less than or equal to the product ◾of the coefficient of static friction and normal force. It is given as:
Fs max = µs η and Fs ≤ µs η
Where,
Fs is the force of static friction
µs is the coefficient of static friction
η is the normal force
Fs max is the maximum force of static friction
✍️Sliding Friction
What Is Sliding Friction?

◾Coefficient Of Sliding Friction
◾The coefficient of sliding friction is denoted as µs. The force of sliding friction is defined as the product of the ◾coefficient of sliding friction and the normal force. It is given as:
Fs = µs. Fn
✍️Rolling Friction
What Is Rolling Friction?
Rolling friction is defined as
the force which resists the motion of a ball or wheel and is the weakest types of friction.
Examples Of Rolling Friction
Following are the examples of rolling friction:
◾Rolling of the log on the ground
◾Wheels of the moving vehicles
◾Coefficient Of Rolling Friction
◾The coefficient of rolling friction is denoted as µr. The force of rolling friction is defined as the product of the ◾coefficient of rolling friction and the normal force. It is given as:
Fs = µr. Fn
