Several famous scientists and engineers contributed to our understanding of friction. They include Leonardo da vinci, Guillaume Amontons, John Theophilus Desaguliers, Leonard Euler, and Charles-Augustin de Coulomb. Their findings are codified into these laws,

1. The force of friction is directly proportional to the applied load. (Amontons 1st Law)

2. The force of friction is independent of the apparent area of contact. (Amontons 2nd Law)

3. Kinetic friction is independent of the sliding velocity. (Coulomb's Law)
