Effect of normal force on friction. Keep a wooden block on the horizontal floor and pull it with the spring balance attached to it and measure the frictional force.Now put another wooden block over the brick tied to the spring balance or press it vertically with your hand and measure the frictional force.a) Is there any difference between frictional forces in two cases? If yes, why?b) What is the relationship between friction and normal force?

Answer»

a) Yes, the reason is when we add a wooden block to the existing wooden block or apply force by pressing vertically, the normal force increases and hence we find increase in frictional force.

b) Friction is proportional to the normal force, i.e., friction °c normal force.
