Coefficient of Rolling Friction
The coefficient of rolling friction is the ratio of the rolling friction to whole weight of object. The coefficient of rolling friction when given may be formulated mathematically as
F= μ × W
- F= the magnitude of rolling resistance that corresponds to this given force.
- μ = coefficient of road resistance rolling
- W= load(weight)
Rolling Friction
Rolling Friction is a frictional force that opposes rolling objects. Rolling friction is applicable where the body moves along its curved surfaces. For example, wheels in vehicles, ball bearings, etc. are examples of rolling friction.
In this article, we will learn about rolling friction, its definition, laws, formulas, causes, coefficient, and the factors that affect it. We will also learn how rolling friction is different from sliding friction.
