No. Coefficient of friction is not measured in units.
To determine the friction coefficient on an incline, one can use the formula: friction force friction coefficient x normal force. By measuring the force required to move an object up the incline and the normal force acting on the object, the friction coefficient can be calculated.
One formula that is frequently used is: friction = mu x Fn, where mu (the Greek letter mu) is the coefficient of friction, and Fn is the normal force - the force that pushes the surfaces together, perpendicular to the surface. The coefficient of friction depends on the combination of materials; you can look it up in tables for different combinations of materials; or you can determine it experimentally.
To find the acceleration of an object when given the coefficient of kinetic friction, you can use the formula: acceleration g (k), where g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s2) and k is the coefficient of kinetic friction. This formula helps calculate how fast an object is speeding up or slowing down due to friction.
The phosphor bronze is resilient and have a low coefficient of friction.

Case 2: A truck is travelling at a constant speed up a hill with a normal force of 1360N. The Force of the Kinetic friction acting on the truck is 266N. What is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the truck and the road? N = 1360N, Fk = 266N Step 1: Substitute the values in the below Kinetic Friction Coefficient formula: This example will guide you to calculate the Kinetic Friction Coefficient manually.
Friction will decrease if the coefficient of friction decreases. This can be caused by having a smother surface up to a point. (When two surface are TOO smooth the friction actually increases due to molecular attraction.)
The friction coefficient of the two 'bodies' determines the retarding friction force. Represented by μ sub f in physics books. Friction coefficients can be measured in a lab or, sometimes, be looked up in books for an approximation. The coefficient is specific to each case.
One phase of liquid helium has such a low coefficient of friction that it will flow out of a container, up the walls of that container and drip off the bottom. Other materials such as smooth Teflon can have frictions equal to wet ice on wet ice.
While there is no definite answer, the substance that produces the most friction when rubbing up against another substance is almost certainly rubber. This is why it is used in tires.
Not enough information. That would depend on the angle of inclination, the coefficient of friction, and whether you are pushing it up or down the plane. Also on gravity, but that can be assumed to be more or less constant, at about 9.8 N/kg.
I see no diagram. Are you asking what HORIZONTAL force will keep the block from sliding up ? Where is the Diagram?????
