8.1 Introduction
In preceding chapters, it was assumed that surfaces in contact were
either frictionless (surfaces could move freely with respect to each
other) or rough (tangential forces prevent relative motion between
surfaces).
Actually, no perfectly frictionless surface exists. For two surfaces
in contact, tangential forces, called friction forces, will develop if
one attempts to move one relative to the other.
However, the friction forces are limited in magnitude and will
not prevent motion if sufficiently large forces are applied.
The distinction between frictionless and rough is, therefore, a matter
of degree.
There are two types of friction: dry or Coulomb friction and fluid
friction. Fluid friction applies to lubricated mechanisms. The
present discussion is limited to dry friction between nonlubricated
surfaces.

Sample Problem 8.1
A 450 N force acts as shown on a
1350 N block placed on an inclined
plane. The coefficients of friction
between the block and plane are
s
=
0.25 and
k
= 0.20. Determine whether
the block is in equilibrium and find the
value of the friction force.
SOLUTION:
Determine values of friction force
and normal reaction force from plane
required to maintain equilibrium.
Calculate maximum friction force
and compare with friction force
required for equilibrium. If it is
greater, block will not slide.
If maximum friction force is less
than friction force required for
equilibrium, block will slide.
Calculate kinetic-friction force.

Sample Problem 8.3
The moveable bracket shown may be
placed at any height on the 75 mm
diameter pipe. If the coefficient of
friction between the pipe and bracket is
0.25, determine the minimum distance
x at which the load can be supported.
Neglect the weight of the bracket.
SOLUTION:
When Wis placed at minimum x, the
bracket is about to slip and friction
forces in upper and lower collars are at
maximum value.
Apply conditions for static equilibrium
to find minimum x.

Sample Problem 8.5
A clamp is used to hold two pieces of
wood together as shown. The clamp
has a double square thread of mean
diameter equal to 10 mm with a pitch
of 2 mm. The coefficient of friction
between threads is
s
= 0.30.
If a maximum torque of 40 N*m is
applied in tightening the clamp,
determine (a) the force exerted on the
pieces of wood, and (b) the torque
required to loosen the clamp.
SOLUTION
Calculate lead angle and pitch angle.
Using block and plane analogy with
impending motion up the plane, calculate
the clamping force with a force triangle.
With impending motion down the plane,
calculate the force and torque required to
loosen the clamp.

***8.7 Journal Bearings. Axle Friction
Journal bearings provide lateral support to rotating
shafts. Thrust bearings provide axial support
Frictional resistance of fully lubricated bearings
depends on clearances, speed and lubricant viscosity.
Partially lubricated axles and bearings can be
assumed to be in direct contact along a straight line.
Forces acting on bearing are weight Wof wheels and
shaft, couple Mto maintain motion, and reaction R
of the bearing.
Reaction is vertical and equal in magnitude to W.
Reaction line of action does not pass through shaft
center O; R is located to the right of O, resulting in
a moment that is balanced by M.
Physically, contact point is displaced as axle
climbs in bearing.

***8.9 Wheel Friction. Rolling Resistance
Point of wheel in contact
with ground has no
relative motion with
respect to ground.
Ideally, no friction.
Moment M due to frictional
resistance of axle bearing
requires couple produced by
equal and opposite P and F.
Without friction at rim,
wheel would slide.
Deformations of wheel and
ground cause resultant of
ground reaction to be
applied at B. P is required
to balance moment of W
about B.

Sample Problem 8.6
A pulley of diameter 100 mm
can rotate about a fixed shaft of
diameter 50 mm. The coefficient
of static friction between the
pulley and shaft is 0.20.
Determine:
the smallest vertical force P
required to start raising a
2250 N load,
the smallest vertical force P
required to hold the load,
and
the smallest horizontal force
P required to start raising
the same load.
SOLUTION:
With the load on the left and force
P on the right, impending motion
is clockwise to raise load. Sum
moments about displaced contact
point B to find P.
Impending motion is counter-
clockwise as load is held
stationary with smallest force P.
Sum moments about C to find P.
With the load on the left and force
P acting horizontally to the right,
impending motion is clockwise to
raise load. Utilize a force triangle
to find P.

We first observe that for smaller values of the magnitude of P that (Case 1)
the inner left-hand and right-hand surfaces of collars A and D, respectively,
will contact the rod, whereas for larger values of the magnitude of P that
(Case 2) the inner right-hand and left-hand surfaces of collars A and D,
respectively, will contact the rod.

SOLUTION
FBD A:
FBD B + C:
For impending motion, C will start down and A will start up. Since, the
normal force between B and C is larger than that between A and B, the
corresponding friction force can be larger as well. Thus we assume that

PROBLEM 8.46
A 180 N weight is hung from a lever which rests against a 10 wedge at A
and is supported by a frictionless hinge at C. Knowing that the coefficient
of static friction is 0.25 at both surfaces of the wedge and that for the
position shown the spring is stretched 100 mm, determine (a) the magnitude
of the force P for which motion of the wedge is impending, (b) the
components of the corresponding reaction at C.

PROBLEM 8.50
The elevation of the end of the steel beam supported by a concrete floor
is adjusted by means of the steel wedges E and F. The base plate CD has
been welded to the lower flange of the beam, and the end reaction of the
beam is known to be 150 kN. The coefficient of static friction is 0.30
between the two steel surfaces and 0.60 between the steel and the
concrete. If the horizontal motion of the beam is prevented by the force
Q, determine (a) the force P required to raise the beam, (b) the
corresponding force Q.
