EXAMPLE: Box on floor
μs =Coefficient of Static Friction
Equation of equilibrium
Fy = 0
Fx = 0
At impending motion only:
F = μsN
For well lubricated, μs ≈ 0 .05.
For very clean surfaces μs ≈ 0. 4 − 1.
After it starts to move:
F = μkN
μk = Coefficient of kinetic friction.
μk < μs
EXAMPLE: Block on an inclined plane
Q: At what angle (α) does the block slide down the plane?
So:
a = tan α 2
The resultant of the normal force and frictional force act directly ”below” the
center of mass.
Q: For what range of W 0 is the block in equilibrium?
Case 1: Impending motion is down the plane.
Fx = 0
T 1 + F 1 − W sin α = 0
Fy = 0
N 1 − W cos α = 0
Case 2: Impending motion is up the plane.
Fx = 0
T 2 + F 2 − W sin α = 0
Fy = 0
N 2 − cos α = 0
What about T?
FBD of Cable
Look at differential element
The block will be stable against downward motion when:
W 0 ≤ W sin α + μsW cos α
So it is stable when:
W (sin α − μs cos α) ≤ W 0 ≤ W^ (sin^ α^ +^ μs cos^ α)
What about pulley with friction? (^) Look at a differential element.
Recall a rope around a rod.
Fx = 0

−dF = 0
Fy = 0
( ) ( ) dθ dθ dN − T (θ) sin −T (θ + dθ) sin −dF = 0 2 2
dθ dθ sin ≈ 2 2
dθ cos ≈ 1 2
dT = T (θ + dθ) − T (θ) ⇒ T (θ + dθ) = T (θ) + dT = T + dT
So:
T (θ) − T (θ + dθ) − dF = 0
dT = −dF
T dθ dθ dN − + (T + dT ) = 0 2 2
T + dT → 0
dN − T dθ = 0
With impending motion:
dF = μsdN
dT = −μsdN
dT dN = − μs
Substitute:
dT − − T dθ = 0 μs
Thus:
dT = −μsdθ T
Integrate:
∫ (^) T 2 ∫ (^) φ dT = −μsdθ T 1 T 0 [ ]T 2
ln T = −μsφ T 1
ln
= −μsφ T 1
T 2 = exp(−μsφ) T 1
T 2 = T 1 exp(−μsφ)
This is known as the capstan effect.
EXAMPLE: Boat on a dock
φ = 3(2π) ≈ 20
μs = 0. 4
T 2 = T 1 exp(−8)
