A block of concrete weighs 20 kg, it takes 40 N to start the block sliding on a concrete floor and 10 N to maintain sliding. Calculate the Static coefficiant of friction and calculate the kinetci coefficiant of friction My question is; what is the coefficiant of static and kinetic friction. Ive read throught the book and cant seem to find anything that explains it. I found a formula which reads F = Static coefficiant multiplied by the weight of the block. But that doesnt tell me exactly what the coeffciant of each is, Is it a constant? or does it vary based on the item being moved? Thank you.

Axial Load

When a bar of the uniform cross-section is acted by a load, such that the load acts along the longitudinal axis of the bar, such kinds of loadings are known as axial loadings. In general terms, a load is an external force acting on a component. An axial load acts perpendicular to the geometric cross-section of the component. Based on the direction of the application of the load, an axial load can be tensile or compressive. The analysis of bodies under the action of axial loads is generally studied under the branch of mechanics, known as statics.
