Instruction
The report must be accurate and clean.
The report must be done ONLY in Word Document.
Your data must be organized in table using Excel.
Then, copy and paste your table to your Report.
Use the Excel for the graphing.
Copy / past the graph to your report under "Conclusion/ Analyze" section.
Upload as a separate file with a data excel table and graph.
Add the calculation in your report using the “Formulas” function.
Page 1: Title page with abstract.
Page 2 - 4: Begin the body of your report with the Introduction, General Principles, Methods, Results, and finally the Conclusion.
Last Page : Include references, all properly cited on the last page.
For the second part of the lab you will need the following links
https://mech.subwiki.org/wiki/Angle_of_friction
http://www.thephysicsaviary.com/Physics/Programs/Labs/ForceFriction/index.html
In a seperate document answer the following question
Find on the internet or in a library (e.g., the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics) the ranges of coefficients of friction expected for wood on wood, plastic on wood, metal on wood (or vice versa).
Were your results within range?
What are the units for the coefficients of friction? (Hint: The coefficients of friction is defined as ramp height divided by ramp base).
If the mass of the object is tripled, does the angle of repose change?
Compare the graph in Lab Part Two and experimental values for the coefficients of friction. Is coefficient of static friction > the coefficient of kinetic friction for each method?
