joints‚ which means that they have a cavity in the joints that contains synovial fluid. Joints are not just made of bone‚ because if they were‚ friction would keep them from moving smoothly. The body uses cartilage and the synovial fluid to reduce friction in joints. Osteoarthritis happens when cartilage wears away over time and exposes bone to bone and increases friction‚ which is very painful. Synovial fluid is a fluid-like material that is present in many of the joints of the body. It serves the

Friction is the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces‚ fluid layers‚ and material elements sliding against each other. There are several types of friction: Dry friction resists relative lateral motion of two solid surfaces in contact. Dry friction is subdivided into static friction ("stiction") between non-moving surfaces‚ and kinetic friction between moving surfaces. Fluid friction describes the friction between layers of a viscous fluid that are moving relative to each other.[1][2]

Friction Definition: Friction is the force resisting the relative lateral (tangential) motion of solid surfaces‚ fluid layers‚ or material elements in contact. Force of friction:- Friction is a force that is created whenever two surfaces move or try to move across each other. • Friction always opposes the motion or attempted motion of one surface across another surface. • Friction is dependant on the texture of both surfaces. • Friction is also dependant on the amount of contact force pushing

Friction Losses Abstract—The purpose of the experiment is to study the differences of roughness‚ valves and geometries of pipe and how they influence friction losses. Introduction Friction loss is the loss of energy or “head” that occurs in pipe flow due to viscous effects generated by the surface of the pipe. This energy drop is dependent on the wall shear stress (τ) between the fluid and pipe surface. The shear stress of a flow is also dependent on whether the flow is turbulent

have chosen to talk to you about friction. Friction is the force between two objects in contact with each other‚ making it a contact force. It causes moving objects to slow down. Air resistance is a type of friction. Friction is an important force in our lives. We rely on friction in many ways. An athlete usually wears shoes which provide him/her with a greater friction between the shoe and the surface. We rely on friction as an important aspect of motion. Friction can be a very useful force because
