What properties affect the force of friction?

The nature of the surface. A measure of this is the coefficient of friction.


What is the unit measure of friction?

What forcemeter is?

A force meter is a device used to measure forces of the universe. It can measure friction, tension, and gravity.


How could you measure frictional force?

For dynamic friction, measure the force required to maintain a constant speed. If you have to pull with 300 N to maintain a constant speed, then friction is pulling back with 300 N. (If the forces were not balanced, there would be an acceleration.) For static friction, see how much force you need to apply before the object starts moving.


Why is reading on the spring scale equal to the friction force in each case?

because the spring scale measures friction..therefore the measure (from the spring scale) is equal to the force needed to do something

What are the two factors that affect the friction force between two surfaces?

The strength of the force of friction depends on the types of surfaces involved and on how hard the surfaces push together.
