PRACTICAL 6 Investigate the relationship between force of limiting friction and normal reaction to find the co-efficient of sliding friction between a wooden block and horizontal surface. VIVA VOCE 1. What is the objective of investigating the relationship between the force of limiting friction and the normal reaction? - The objective is to determine the coefficient of sliding friction between a wooden block and a horizontal surface. 2. How do you set up the experiment to investigate this relationship? - Place the wooden block on a horizontal surface and gradually increase the applied force until the block just starts to slide. Measure the normal reaction force and the applied force at this point. 3. What is the normal reaction force, and how is it related to the weight of the wooden block? - The normal reaction force is the force exerted by the surface perpendicular to the contact surface. It is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the weight of the wooden block.
