- Definition dimensionless scalar value, often symbolized by the Greek letter µ, which represents the ratio of the force of friction between two bodies and the force pressing them together Reference COM-EN, based on:Wikipedia > Friction > Coefficient of friction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction#Coefficient_of_friction [4.10.2012]
- Comment The coefficient of friction depends on the materials used; for example, ice on steel has a low coefficient of friction, while rubber on pavement has a high coefficient of friction. Coefficients of friction range from near zero to greater than one – under good conditions, a tire on concrete may have a coefficient of friction of 1.7.
