Friction - 10/15/02 08:51 AM
I have seen from authentic sources that the coefficient of kinetic friction ( mild steel on mild steel) is 0.57. However the most industrially accepted value is 0.3. May I know how this 0.3 value is arrived at and this is applicable for what type of surface condition ? Under what conditions should we go in for values like 0.5 etc.
