The formula to calculate the Coefficient of Friction is:
\[ \mu = \frac{Fc \cdot \tan(\theta_f) + Pt}{Fc - Pt \cdot \tan(\theta_f)} \]
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.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \mu = \frac{1200 \cdot \tan(0.52) + 25}{1200 - 25 \cdot \tan(0.52)} = 0.600558852669883 \]
