    Friction On Inclined Plane

    Uploaded by

    The document describes a lab experiment to determine the coefficient of static friction between various materials and a steel surface using an inclined plane apparatus. The experiment measured the angle of inclination required for different blocks made of steel, plastic, brass, wood and aluminum to start sliding down the plane. The results were then used to calculate the coefficient of static friction and recorded in a table. The results from the experiment differed from theoretical values due to differences in the actual materials used and wear on the apparatus over time.

    NAME :
    DATE :
    EXPERIMENT 1

    Friction on inclined plane

    Objective

    To determine the coefficient of friction under static condition between


    various material and steel surface.

    Theory

    tan Ø = FR = µ
    tan Ø = µ = coefficient of friction.

    Apparatus

    Inclined plane friction apparatus LS-1206, steel block, plastic block,


    brass block, wood block, aluminium block.

    Procedure

    1. The apparatus was setup in a horizontal position.


    2. A specimen was chosen and its weight, R are record.
    3. The specimen was than place on the horizontal plane,
    somewhere in the mid span.
    4. The plan was elevate slowly until the specimen start to move
    even with a small movement.
    5. The angle was record in Table 1.
    6. Step 1 -5 was repeat for other specimens.

    Discussion

    The results from the experiment are not the same with the result from
    the table give. This is caused by various reasons. First is the material
    used in the experiment are not the same with the one in the table, this
    caused the difference with the result obtained. Than is the apparatus
    used are not in mint condition. The plan is used over and over and this
    caused the plan to be smoother compared to when it was newly
    bought.

    Conclusion :

    The coefficient varies with different type of material. Rougher surface


    will have higher coefficient of friction will smother surface will have
    lower coefficient.
