Force and Friction Model
Product Code : SCL-PLE-11691
Quick Answer: The Force and Friction Model is a friction track with interchangeable surfaces, a weighted friction block with towing hook, a slotted mass set and a built-in scale for finding static and kinetic friction coefficients.
Last updated: 18 October 2026
Key Features
- Extended horizontal track with interchangeable friction surfaces.
- Weighted friction block fitted with a towing hook.
- Slotted mass set for changing the normal force.
- Non-warping base with an integrated measurement scale.
Technical Specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Track | Extended horizontal plane, interchangeable surfaces |
| Slider | Weighted friction block with towing hook |
| Loading | Slotted mass set |
| Base | Non-warping, integrated measurement scale |
How It Is Used
The block is pulled along each surface and the force needed to start it moving and to keep it sliding is measured. Adding slotted masses raises the normal force, so students can plot friction against normal force and work out the static and kinetic coefficients, comparing how different surfaces resist motion.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the normal force changed on the Force and Friction Model?
Slotted masses are added to the weighted friction block to increase the normal force between the block and the track.
