Abstract
Practically all sliding friction devices have an interface where the friction force is generated, a finite sliding mass M, and some elastic properties usually represented by a spring k s as in Fig. 3.1. The spring does not need to be an external spring but could represent the overall elastic properties of the sliding device. In most sliding friction experiments the free end of the spring moves with a constant velocity v s , but sometimes it varies with time. The force in the spring as a function of time is the basic quantity registered in most of these experiments. It is important to note that, due to inertia, during acceleration the spring force is not equal to the friction force acting on the block.
