Static Friction Coefficient Using Friction Force

Static friction is a force that opposes the relative lateral motion of two solid non-moving surfaces in contact.

The friction force equals the static friction coefficient times the normal force.

Formula

QuantityVariable[Subscript["F", "f"], "Force"] == QuantityVariable[Subscript["F", "n"], "Force"]*QuantityVariable[Subscript["μ", "s"], "StaticFrictionCoefficient"]

symbol description physical quantity
Ff friction force "Force"
Fn normal force "Force"
μs static friction coefficient "StaticFrictionCoefficient"
