Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF
The ratio of the maximum possible frictional force, paralled to the surface of contact, which acts to prevent two bodies in contact, and at rest with respect to each other, from sliding or rolling over each other, to the force, normal to the surface of contact, with which the bodies press against each other. 2, record 1, English, - coefficient%20of%20static%20friction
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The coefficient of kinetic friction for smooth metal surfaces ... ranges from 0.15 to 0.5 and is slightly less usually than the coefficient of static or limiting friction. These coefficients are independent of the area of the surfaces in contact. 3, record 1, English, - coefficient%20of%20static%20friction

[...] un corps placé au contact d'une surface rugueuse et soumis à une force F peut être en équilibre pourvu que les composantes tangentielle Ft et normale Fn de la force F vérifient la condition [...] où f0, appelé coefficient de frottement statique, dépend des surfaces en contact. Par exemple, f0 vaut 0,75 dans le cas du contact entre pierres calcaires [...] 1, record 1, French, - coefficient%20de%20frottement%20statique
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
[...] [le coefficient de frottement] est indépendant de l'étendue de la surface de contact [...]; il ne dépend pratiquement pas de la vitesse, sauf au démarrage, où il est augmenté d'environ 30 % (il s'agit, alors, du coefficient d'adhérence). 4, record 1, French, - coefficient%20de%20frottement%20statique
