2. Types of Friction and Coefficients

f_s^{max} = μ_s R

μ_s = f_s^{max}/R

f_k = μ_k R

f_r = μ_r · R/r

tanθ_s = μ_s

3. Motion on Rough Surfaces

F = μ_s mg/(cosθ + μ_s sinθ) = mg sinθ_s / cos(θ − θ_s)

F_least = mg sinθ_s = μ_s mg/(1+μ_s^2)^(1/2)

F = μ_s mg/(cosθ − μ_s sinθ) = mg sinθ_s / cos(θ + θ_s)

a = g(sinθ − μ_k cosθ)

μ = 2tanθ

4. Rolling Friction, Lubrication, and Reduction of Friction

f_r = μ_r · R/r
