Hi! For bonus credits in school I've been asked to design a simple experiment to measure/calculate the static friction coefficient of a sled on snow. I honestly have no idea what this means but I would love to get my grade up a point or two. If someone could please explain what a static friction coefficient is AND help me design a simple experiment to measure/calculate that for a sled on snow, I would greatly appreciate it! I only have a very basic understanding of physics right now, so don't feel pressured to get TOO in-depth (but also don't force yourself to dumb anything down, either!) Thank you so much for your help!
Static friction is friction between two or more solid objects that are not in motion relative to eachother. It may also be defined as a force which resists changing its state of rest of-of an...
