This experiment examined the relation between wood and aluminum surfaces and their friction. The coefficient of static and kinetic friction can be derived from the experiments with the use of a horizontal Atwood’s machine and a Super Pulley. The static friction was tested by setting up an equilibrium with the hanging mass and the frictional force. Three tests were conducted with increasing additional mass on the friction block. An unbalanced force was required to test for the coefficient of kinetic friction. This is possible through solving for the acceleration of the unbalanced force. The total mass of the system is constant through all four of the tests, but different masses were added to the hanging mass so that the acceleration would have a variety of different accelerations to accurately solve for the kinetic friction. As a result, our coefficient of static and kinetic friction are μs = 0.26 ± 0.02 and μk = 0.30 ± 0.01 respectively.
Introduction
According to Collin College, the coefficient of static and kinetic friction are μs = 0.30 and μk = 0.20 respectively. However, the lab material has worn out over time, so their coefficient of frictions may be different from the regular coefficient of friction. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the coefficient of kinetic and static friction between aluminum and wood in the lab. These were determined with the use of a horizontal Atwood’s machine
The test conducted on a horizontal Atwood’s machine was accomplished by
From the calculations, the average coefficient of friction on dry road was 0.705 and the average frictional force was 8016.27 N. The average coefficient of friction on wet road was 0.553 and the average frictional force was 6299.6 N. As stated before, a patterned tire gives typical dry and wet frictional coefficients of about 0.7 and 0.4, respectively (Jones, 2001).
With the worm screw being in constant contact with the worm wheel, there has to be consideration of wear due to friction when selecting the material. In order to avoid amounts of wear that will be detrimental to performance, the shaft’s material must have a high surface hardness1. It’s important that this is achieved without the hardening of the entire thread because this will result in the material becoming more brittle. A
There are two different types of frictional coefficients, static and kinetic. The coefficient of static friction is the frictional force that must be overcome before any motion commences. It is caused by the minuscule contact points between our tires and the riding surface (There is frictional losses present in every mechanical connection on the bike
The coefficient of kinetic friction, or the μk, is equal to FF/FN while the materials are in motion, sliding across the other surface. In this case, the FF on each object is exerted in the direction opposite to the direction of its motion. The values of μk vary greatly between different combinations of objects. Most dry materials have values of μk between .3 and .6, and in some rare cases values as low as .04. Wet materials have even more varied values of μk – for example, waxed wood on wet snow has a μk of .1, while ice on ice has a μk of .03, and joints inside of the human body, which have very little friction as they move against each other, have values of μk around .003.
In the most common form of 1-DOF torsional plant, friction is taken as being viscous. Applying Newton's second law to the attached rotating disk using free body diagram method then following up with differential equation and the deducing:
Wooden Wheels Bike shop has been involved in the cycling sports sense 1979 and has supported the efforts of local athletes in many forms from mountain biking to triathlon, road racing and time trial racing and has been a consistent hub for cyclists in our local community with locations in Newark, DE and the North Wilmington location, along 202.
I believe true compassion and empathy is achieved when a new experience is felt by one who has never felt it before. Without the experience, all one can feel is sympathy, even pity; because like asking a blind person to see, how can you feel strong emotion towards something that you haven’t been in first hand? I decided to tell the struggles of others like it was a story in a book. I’ve always been an avid reader, flipping through novels in days and finishing a series in another. I think what appeals books to me so much is how I feel like I am in the story. The emotions, the setting, and the roughness of the oak wand Harry Potty held for the first time in book one are what introduce new experiences to the books audience. In my younger years
For the novice wood worker, you may have some questions about using hand tools and power tools. It can be frustrating to know exactly how to use these tools safely and at a minimal risk to yourself. If you have a desire to work with wood and do things that you can use in your home or sell for an additional income, you can be overwhelmed with the amount of items that are available for wood work. When you are using hand tools and power tools, keep in mind that while these tools can be dangerous, they are simply tools so you can get your completed wood work project in a more Efficient. Keep these tips in mind when working with hand tools and hand tools.
Friction is an opposing force. It acts in the opposite direction of the marble or the roller coaster cart. When designing a roller coaster you want to have as little friction as possible. This goes the same way with my model track, i want to make sure the track is designed to where friction will not be a worry factor but i want there to be enough of it to keep the marble from going to fast and running off the track. The force of gravity will help take some of the pressure off the importance of friction but with the marble being so light i am more than likely going to apply more friction only because the weight of the marble is so light. If the laws are correct i should have a successful marble
Make sure you measure the wood. You need to tape both sides but make sure it measure 6 feet. I doesn’t matter what object you roll down the ramp but it has to be cylinder. So it can roll. Stack the books and then put the wood on top make sure it’s slanted so the object can poll down it. You have to time when it gets to the tape. When you are about to roll your object make sure the object is on the tape. Also, just let go of the object don’t push the object. If you push the object down the ramp then it will be the wrong information. You have to test the experiment 10 times. So that you will get different results.
I utilized the coefficient of friction values based on skid testing conducted by the Institute of Police Technology and Management, (IPTM). IPTM testing, indicates a coefficient of friction of .90 - 1.50 for a vehicle furrowing.
Cumberland Metals Industries developed a new type of cushion pad for pile drivers made of curled metal. The 11.5 inch “Cumber-Coil” was tested by two different companies on two different projects and was found to far exceed the performance of the existing market-dominant product, the asbestos pad. The Cumber-Coil weighed half what the asbestos pad did and boasted a 33% faster driving time, 60% reduction in heat generated, and 400% less time wasted changing pads.
The main objective of this lab was to measure the friction force it takes to start moving a weighted block across a table, and as it continued to move. This force was tested experimentally in three separate ways. The force was then solved graphically and mathematically through six different runs per method. TALK ABOUT RESULTS HERE.
In science class, students were given a propeller and rubber band to add propulsion force to the car. The car without any changes used thick black wheels in the front and thin white wheels with tires in the back. It used heavier axles with the thick wheels and light, aluminum axles with the thin wheels and clay connecting the bearing to the axle. In the first iteration, clay was removed. The fifth iteration changed the wheels in the front from large wheels to thin wheels with tires. The sixth iteration changed the axle in the front to the same aluminum axle that was in the back. The car performed at its best after the sixth iteration because it traveled further distance and was lighter.
The first process examined uses the Lablond Lathe machinery and requires a machined diameter of 7.7250, plus tight tolerances of + .0005 inches. A Process Capability Ratio (Cpk) analysis of the lathe’s data, results in a Cpk of .379 (exhibit A). A result of less than one indicates the machine is not capable of matching the tolerances laid out in the IMS spec. Therefore the Lablond Lathe is not suitable to handle the process it is being used for. Before a more suitable machine is selected, the Lablond Lathe should be checked for calibration, as should the measuring equipment used. If all fall within calibration specs, new
