The formula to calculate the Coefficient of Friction is:
\[ \mu = \frac{F_{\text{lim}}}{R_n} \]
The Coefficient of Friction (μ) is the ratio defining the force that resists the motion of one body in relation to another body in contact with it. The Limiting Force is the friction generated when two surfaces come in contact with each other. The Normal Reaction is the force exerted by a surface on an object in contact with it which prevents the object from passing through the surface.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \mu = \frac{2.15}{6.4431} \approx 0.333690304356599 \]
The Coefficient of Friction is approximately 0.333690304356599.
