What Is the Coefficient of Friction for Wood?

[NOBARTHOLEM]

1. The coefficent for friction on wood.



i don't know where to find the math because I am not taking engineering or whatever subject it is if i got the wrong area. I am taking biology and i can't find the equation. its a smooth piece of plywood.



this isn't homework but for my science fair project. i need help

Here's a table of http://www.engineersedge.com/coeffients_of_friction.htm" for some materials, including wood.

I googled coefficient of friction for wood, and got lots of good hits. Here's the hit list:

THe first hit on the list looks like it will give you what you need. Have fun on the project, and welcome to the PF.

I'm changing the title of this thread from "bibliography" to "Wood's Coefficient of Friction" -- probably just a simple mistake as you were starting the thread.


EDIT -- Ack! Edged out by dlgoff again!
