✖A centripetal force is a force that makes a body follow a curved path. Its direction is always orthogonal to the motion of the body and towards the fixed point of the instantaneous center of curvature of the path.ⓘ Centripetal Force [Fc]			+10% -10%
✖Theta is an angle that can be defined as the figure formed by two rays meeting at a common endpoint.ⓘ Theta [ϑ]			+10% -10%
✖The Tangential force is the force that acts on a moving body in the direction of a tangent to the curved path of the body.ⓘ Tangential Force [F ]			+10% -10%

✖The Coefficient of Friction (μ) is the ratio defining the force that resists the motion of one body in relation to another body in contact with it. This ratio is dependent on material properties and most materials have a value between 0 and 1. ⓘ Coefficient of Friction (using forces) [μ]

FAQ

What is Coefficient of Friction (using forces)?

Coefficient of friction (using forces) is a dimensionless number that is defined as the ratio between friction force and normal force and is represented as μ=(Fc*tan(ϑ)+F )/(Fc-F *tan(ϑ)) or Coefficient of Friction=(Centripetal Force*tan(Theta)+Tangential Force)/(Centripetal Force-Tangential Force*tan(Theta)). A centripetal force is a force that makes a body follow a curved path. Its direction is always orthogonal to the motion of the body and towards the fixed point of the instantaneous center of curvature of the path, Theta is an angle that can be defined as the figure formed by two rays meeting at a common endpoint and The Tangential force is the force that acts on a moving body in the direction of a tangent to the curved path of the body.
