Static and Kinetic Friction

Kinetic friction comes into existence when there are moving surfaces means in other words we can say that the force which comes into existing between moving surfaces is known as kinetic friction.

The systems shown in Figure P4.58 are in equilibrium. If the spring scales are calibrated in newtons, what do they read? Ignore the masses of the pulleys and strings and assume the pulleys and the incline in Figure P4.58d are frictionless. Figure P4.58
If a single constant force acts on an object that moves on a straight line, the objects velocity is a linear function of time. The equation v = vi + at gives its velocity v as a function of time, where a is its constant acceleration. What if velocity is instead a linear function of position? Assume that as a particular object moves through a resistive medium, its speed decreases as described by the equation v = vi kx, where k is a constant coefficient and x is the position of the object. Find the law describing the total force acting on this object.
Imagine weighing the same bunch of bananas with two different spring scales like the one in Figure 5.14A. Scale 1 has a spring with spring constant k1. When the bananas are hung from scale 1, the spring stretches y1, from its relaxed position. Therefore, the apparent weight of the bananas is wapp = k1 y1 Scale 2 has a stiffer spring; its spring constant is k2 = 3k1. If the same bunch of bananas is hung from scale 2, what is the displacement of its spring y2 in terms of y1? FIGURE 5.14 Spring scales are used to measure the apparent weight of an object. A. An object may hang from the spring. B. A pan scale employs a main spring (cutaway) connected to a system of levers (not shown).
