Sentences with phrase «by friction coefficient»

Not exact matches

Coulomb's equation states that in order to slide one hand against the other the shear stress — akin to the force applied to slide your hands — divided by the surrounding pressure — squeezing the sand together — must equal something called the friction coefficient.

If this ratio reaches the friction coefficient (determined by the sand's properties), your hand will move.

Further improvements have been made in various areas, including the car's directional stability, the friction coefficient of the wheel bearings, tire noise and weight, which has been reduced by 4.4 pounds on the front suspension alone.

The traction assistance provided by the double - disc clutch is especially noticeable when the friction ratio between the tyres and the road is low, since the clutch locks the powertrain mechanically during moderate starting if the friction coefficient between the tyres and the road is less than µ = 0.3 (more or less equivalent to snow).
