Abstract

Formulations of two ubiquitous forces are discussed in this chapter: friction forces and spring forces. We start with the former and consider a simple classic experiment. Based on this experiment, general (coordinate-free) expressions for friction forces are obtained. The chapter closes with the corresponding developments for a spring force. Several examples are used throughout the chapter to illustrate applications of the formulations of the spring and friction forces.

Footnotes
1
The most cited reference to his work is his prize-winning paper [24], published in 1785. Accounts of Coulomb’s work on friction are contained in Dugas [29] and Heyman [49].
 
2
For further information on the limitations of Coulomb’s theory of friction, we refer the reader to Rabinowicz [78] and Ruina [83].
 
3
From the Historical Introduction to Love [61]. In modern terminology, power is force and tension is extension.
