2 Applications In designing a brake system for a bicycle, car, or any other vehicle, it is important to understand the frictional forces involved. For an applied force on the brake pads, how can we determine the magnitude and direction of the resulting friction force? Applications - continued Consider pushing a box as shown here. How can you determine if it will slide, tilt, or stay in static equilibrium? What physical factors affect the answer to this question? Engr221 Chapter 8 2

3 Characteristics of Dry Friction Friction is defined as a force of resistance acting on a body which prevents or retards slipping of the body relative to a second body. Experiments show that frictional forces act tangent (parallel) to the contacting surface in a direction opposing the relative motion or tendency for motion. For the body shown in the figure to be in equilibrium, the following must be true: F = P, N = W, and Wx = Ph. Characteristics of Dry Friction - continued To study the characteristics of the friction force F, let us assume that tipping does not occur (i.e., h is small or a is large). Then, we gradually increase the magnitude of the force P. Typically, experiments show that the friction force F varies with P, as shown in the right figure above. Engr221 Chapter 8 3

4 Characteristics of Dry Friction - continued The maximum friction force is attained just before the block begins to move (a situation called impending motion ). The value of the force is found using F s = µ s N, where µ s is called the coefficient of static friction. The value of µ s depends on the materials in contact. Once the block begins to move, the frictional force typically drops and is given by F k = µ k N. The value of µ k (coefficient of kinetic friction) is less than µ s. Determining µ s Experimentally A block with weight W is placed on an inclined plane. The plane is slowly tilted until the block just begins to slip. The inclination, θ s, is noted. Analysis of the block just before it begins to move gives (using F s = µ s N): + F y = N W cos θ s = 0 + F X = µ S N W sin θ s = 0 Using these two equations, we get µ s = (W sin θ s ) / (W cos θ s ) = tan θ s This simple experiment allows us to find the µ S between two materials in contact. Engr221 Chapter 8 4

5 Procedure for Analysis Steps for solving equilibrium problems involving dry friction: 1. Draw the necessary free body diagrams. Make sure that you show the friction force in the correct direction (it always opposes the motion or impending motion). 2. Determine the number of unknowns. Do not assume that F = µ S N unless the impending motion condition is given. 3. Apply the equations of equilibrium and appropriate frictional equations to solve for the unknowns. Impending Tipping vs. Slipping For a given weight and height, how can we determine if the block will slide first or tip first? In this case, we have four unknowns (F, N, x, and P) and only three E-of-E. Hence, we have to make an assumption to give us another equation. Then we can solve for the unknowns using the three E-of-E. Finally, we need to check if our assumption was correct. Engr221 Chapter 8 5

6 Impending Tipping vs. Slipping - continued Assume: Slipping occurs Known: F = µ s N Solve: x, P, and N Check: 0 x b/2 Or Assume: Tipping occurs Known: x = b/2 Solve: P, N, and F Check: F µ s N a) Draw a FBD Example A Given: A uniform ladder weighs 20 lb. The vertical wall is smooth (no friction).the floor is rough and µ s = 0.8 Find: The minimum force P needed to move (tip or slide) the ladder. Plan: b) Determine the unknowns c) Make any necessary friction assumptions d) Apply E-of-E (and friction equations, if appropriate) to solve for the unknowns e) Check assumptions, if required Engr221 Chapter 8 6

7 Example A - continued N B 4 ft A FBD of the ladder 4 ft 20 lb P F A 3 ft 3 ft There are four unknowns: N A, F A, N B, and P. Assume that the ladder will tip first so N B = 0 + Σ F Y = N A 20 = 0 ; N A = 20 lb + Σ M A = 20(3) P(4) = 0 ; P = 15 lb + Σ F X = 15 F A = 0 ; F A = 15 lb N A Example A - continued N B 4 ft A FBD of the ladder 4 ft 20 lb P F A 3 ft 3 ft N A Now check the assumption. F max = µ s N A = 0.8 * 20 lb = 16 lb Is F A = 15 lb F max = 16 lb? Yes, hence our assumption of tipping is correct. Engr221 Chapter 8 7

8 Example B Given: Drum weight = 100 lb, µ s = 0.5, a = 3 ft, b = 4 ft Find: The smallest magnitude of P that will cause impending motion (tipping or slipping) of the drum Plan: a) Draw a FBD of the drum b) Determine the unknowns c) Make friction assumptions, as necessary d) Apply E-of-E (and friction equations as appropriate) to solve for the unknowns e) Check assumptions, as required Example B - continued P ft 1.5 ft 4 A FBD of the drum 100 lb 4 ft 0 X N F There are four unknowns: P, N, F and x First, let s assume the drum slips. Then the friction equation is F = µ s N = 0.5 N Engr221 Chapter 8 8

9 Example B - continued P ft 1.5 ft 4 A FBD of the drum 100 lb 4 ft + F X = (4/5) P 0.5 N = 0 + F Y = N (3/5) P 100 = 0 These two equations give: 0 X N F P = 100 lb and N = 160 lb + M O = (3/5) 100 (1.5) (4/5) 100 (4) (x) = 0 Check: x = so OK!

11 Example Problem The refrigerator has a weight of 180 lb and rests on a tile floor for which µ s = 0.25 Also, the man has a weight of 150 lb and the coefficient of static friction between the floor and his shoes is µ s = 0.6 If he pushes horizontally on the refrigerator, determine if he can move it. If so, does the refrigerator tip or slip? Tips: P = 67.5 lb Slips: P = 45 lbs Man slips at 90 lbs F = 45 lbs Yes, he can move it Textbook Problem 8.53 The 50-lb board is placed across the channel and a 100-lb boy attempts to walk across. If the coefficient of static friction at A and B is µ s = 0.4, determine if he can make the crossing; and if not, how far will he get from A before the board slips? N A = 60.3 lb N B = 86.2 lb d = 6.47 ft No, the board will slip Engr221 Chapter 8 11

12 Example Problem The 5-kg cylinder is suspended from two equal-length cords. The end of each cord is attached to a ring of negligible mass, which passes along a horizontal shaft. If the coefficient of static friction between each ring and the shaft is µ s = 0.5, determine the greatest distance d by which the rings can be separated and still support the cylinder. Textbook Problem 8.44 (HW) The crate has a weight of 300 lb and a center of gravity at G. If the coefficient of static friction between the crate and floor is µ s = 0.4, determine the smallest weight of the man so he can push the crate to the left. The coefficient of static friction between his shoes and the floor is µ s = 0.4. Assume the man exerts only a horizontal force on the crate. W man = 171 lb Engr221 Chapter 8 12

13 Textbook Problem 8.50 (HW) Determine the angle φ at which P should act on the block so that the magnitude of P is as small as possible to begin pulling the block up the incline. What is the corresponding value of P?

N A = 60.3 lb N B = 86.2 lb d = 6.47 ft No, the board will slip Engr221 Chapter 8 13

15 Wedges and Belts Today s Objectives Determine the forces on a wedge Determine the tensions in a belt Class Activities Applications Analysis of a wedge Analysis of a belt Questions Applications Wedges are used to adjust the elevation or provide stability for heavy objects such as this large steel vessel. How can we determine the force required to pull the wedge out? When there are no applied forces on the wedge, will it stay in place (i.e., be self-locking) or will it come out on its own? Under what physical conditions will it come out? Engr221 Chapter 8 15

16 Applications - continued Belt drives are commonly used for transmitting power from one shaft to another. How can we decide that the belts will function properly, i.e., without slipping or breaking? Applications - continued In the design of a band brake, it is essential to analyze the frictional forces acting on the band (which acts like a belt). How can we determine the tensions in the cable pulling on the band? How are these tensions, the applied force P and the torque M, related? Engr221 Chapter 8 16

17 Analysis of a Wedge W A wedge is a simple machine in which a small force P is used to lift a large weight W. To determine the force required to push the wedge in or out, it is necessary to draw FBDs of the wedge and the object on top of it. It is easier to start with a FBD of the wedge since you know the direction of its motion. Note that: 1) The friction forces are always in the direction opposite to the motion, or impending motion, of the wedge 2) The friction forces are along the contacting surfaces 3) The normal forces are perpendicular to the contacting surfaces Analysis of a Wedge - continued Next, a FBD of the object on top of the wedge is drawn. Note that: a) at the contacting surfaces between the wedge and the object the forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to those on the wedge b) all other forces acting on the object should be shown To determine the unknowns, we must apply E-of-E, F x = 0 and F y = 0, to the wedge and the object as well as the impending motion frictional equation, F = µ S N Now, of the two FBDs, which one should we start analyzing first? We should start analyzing the FBD in which the number of unknowns are less than or equal to the number of equations. Engr221 Chapter 8 17

18 Analysis of a Wedge - continued W If the object is to be lowered, then the wedge needs to be pulled out. If the value of the force P needed to remove the wedge is positive, then the wedge is self-locking, i.e., it will not come out on its own. However, if the value of P is negative, or zero, then the wedge will come out on its own unless a force is applied to keep the wedge in place. This can happen if the coefficient of friction is small or the wedge angle θ is large. Belt Analysis Belts are used for transmitting power or applying brakes. Friction forces play an important role in determining the various tensions in the belt. The belt tension values are then used for analyzing or designing a belt drive or a brake system. Engr221 Chapter 8 18

19 Belt Analysis - continued Consider a flat belt passing over a fixed curved surface with the total angle of contact equal to β radians. If the belt slips or is just about to slip, then T 2 must be larger than T 1 and the friction forces. Hence, T 2 must be greater than T 1. Detailed analysis (please refer to your textbook) shows that T 2 = T 1 e µ β where µ is the coefficient of static friction between the belt and the surface. Be sure to use radians when using this formula! Given: The load weighs 100 lb and the µ S between surfaces AC and BD is 0.3 Smooth rollers are placed between wedges A and B. Assume the rollers and the wedges have negligible weights. Find: The force P needed to lift the load. Plan: 1. Draw a FBD of wedge A. Why do A first? 2. Draw a FBD of wedge B. Example A 3. Apply the E-of-E to wedge B. Why do B first? 4. Apply the E-of-E to wedge A. Engr221 Chapter 8 19

20 Example A - continued The FBDs of wedges A and B are shown in the figures. Applying the E-of-E to wedge B, we get 100 lb B F 3 = 0.3N 3 N 3 + F X = N 2 sin 10 N 3 = 0 + F Y = N 2 cos N 3 = 0 Solving the above two equations, we get N 2 10º N 2 10º N 2 = lb and N 3 = 18.6 lb P A F 1 = 0.3N 1 Applying the E-of-E to the wedge A, we get + F Y = N cos 10 = 0; N 1 = lb + F X = P sin N 1 = 0; P = 50.3 lb N 1 Example B Given: Blocks A and B weigh 50 lb and 30 lb, respectively. Find: The smallest weight of cylinder D which will cause the loss of static equilibrium. Engr221 Chapter 8 20

21 Example B - continued Plan: 1. Consider two cases: a) both blocks slide together, and b) block B slides over block A 2. For each case, draw a FBD of the block(s). 3. For each case, apply the E-of-E to find the force needed to cause sliding. 4. Choose the smaller P value from the two cases. 5. Use belt friction theory to find the weight of block D. Example B - continued P B 30 lb Case a: blocks slide together. A 50 lb + F Y = N 80 = 0 N = 80 lb + F X = 0.4 (80) P = 0 P = 32 lb N F=0.4 N Engr221 Chapter 8 21

22 Example B - continued 30 lb Case b: + F y = N cos N sin = 0 P 0.6 N 20º N N = 6.20 lb + F x = P ( 26.2 ) cos sin 20 = 0 P = lb Case b has the lowest P and will occur first. Next, using the frictional force analysis of belt, we get W D = P e µ β = e 0.5 ( 0.5 π ) = 12.7 lb Block D weight of 12.7 lb will cause block B to slide over block A. Questions 1. A wedge allows a force P to lift a weight W. A) (large, large) B) (small, small) C) (small, large) D) (large, small) W 2. Considering friction forces and the indicated motion of the belt, how are belt tensions T 1 and T 2 related? A) T 1 > T 2 B) T 1 = T 2 C) T 1 < T 2 D) T 1 = T 2 e µ Engr221 Chapter 8 22

23 1. Determine the direction of the friction force on object B at the contact point between A and B. A) B) C) D) Questions 2. The boy (hanging) in the picture weighs 100 lb and the woman weighs 150 lb. The coefficient of static friction between her shoes and the ground is 0.6. The boy will? A) be lifted up B) slide down C) not be lifted up D) not slide down Questions 1. When determining the force P needed to lift the block of weight W, it is easier to draw a FBD of first. A) the wedge B) the block C) the horizontal ground D) the vertical wall W 2. In the analysis of frictional forces on a flat belt, T 2 = T 1 e µ β In this equation, β equals A) angle of contact in degrees B) angle of contact in radians C) coefficient of static friction D) coefficient of kinetic friction Engr221 Chapter 8 23
