Friction Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the friction force is:

\[ F = U \times N \]

Where:

Friction: The resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another. It is influenced by the properties of the surfaces in contact, such as roughness and material type.

Let's say the coefficient of friction (U) is 0.5 and the normal force (N) is 100 N. Using the formula:

\[ F = 0.5 \times 100 \]

We get:

\[ F = 50\, \text{N} \]

So, the friction force is 50 N.
