Coefficients of friction ms and mk

• Frictional force is proportional to normal force FN

• The magnitude fS of the of the static frictional force is given by fS = ms FNms: coefficient of static friction ms? 0.01 -1.5

• The magnitude fK of the of the kinetic frictional force is given by fK = mK FN mK: coefficient of kinetic friction mK < ms
