Dynamic friction is again divided into
sliding friction
Dynamic friction
rolling friction
8
Dry friction
Friction that exits between perfectly clean
and dry solid surfaces
•No interference of fluids in between the
surfaces
9
Fluid friction
•No direct contact between the surfaces
•Lubricant is present between contacting
surfaces
•Friction between two surfaces separated
by a film of lubricant is called viscous or
fluid friction
10
Static friction
•Friction acting on a body which is at rest is called static
friction
•i.e, P is unable to move the body
11
Dynamic friction
•Friction acting on a body which is actually in motion.
12
Dynamic friction contd
•Sliding friction
Friction between surfaces when the relative
motion is sliding
•Rolling friction
Friction between surfaces separated by ball or
rollers
13
Summary
•Friction developed due to surfaces
irregularities
•Limiting amount of resistance to sliding is
called friction

Limiting Friction
•If force P is increased
gradually up to certain value
it is insufficient to cause
motion ( i.e. to overcome
friction)
•At a certain value the body is
on verge of sliding ( i.e. At
point A)
•If P is increased beyond point

slightly and then remains
