Force and Friction Model

Product Code : SCL-FAM-14545

Indian Lab Suppliers supplies the Force and Friction Model (Product ID: 14545) as part of its forces and motion range. It is a demonstration set with a sliding block, pulley, weights and interchangeable surfaces for studying static and kinetic friction.

Quick Answer

A hooked block is pulled across different surfaces by hanging weights over a low-friction ball-bearing pulley, or by a spring balance. Adding weights raises the normal force, and the pull needed just to start the block moving gives limiting (static) friction; the smaller pull that keeps it moving steadily gives kinetic friction. Dividing friction by normal force gives the coefficient of friction for each surface. The base, block, surfaces, weights and spring balance vary by version, so please confirm the exact contents and size at quotation.
