Both static and kinetic coefficients of friction were measured using a spring balance and a standardized wooden block under consistent loads. The research aimed to evaluate how surface texture, material composition, and normal force influence frictional resistance. Results revealed significant variation in frictional behavior: wood exhibited the highest coefficient of friction (µ 1.9), indicating high resistance to motion, while sandpaper showed the lowest (µ 0.1), likely due to reduced actual contact area caused by extreme roughness. The findings confirm classical friction theories, including Amontons' and Coulomb’s laws, and underscore the dominant role of surface texture over contact area in determining friction. These insights have practical implications in material selection, mechanical design, and tribological optimization for engineering systems, offering empirical support for applications in automotive, industrial, and robotic components....Preview Download Preview +Other Science Technology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Design and construction of cell phone charger»Sugar contents in three different soft drinks (Lacasera, Sprite, Schweppes)»Bacteriological qualities of food thickener deuterium microcarpum (ofor) and brachystegia eurcycoma (achi) sold in Owerri main market»Physiochemical assessment of soil samples from Nwambe Reserve Forest, Ndubia Igagu Izzi L.G.A, Ebonyi State.»Obstacle detection robot with ultrasonic sensor»Physico-chemical assessment of soil sample from Igbagu reserve forest in Ebonyi State»Antitrypanosomal activity of ethanol extract of Tridax Procumbent leaf and whole flower on T.
