Principle

With the aid of the friction block the students should observe that different surfaces result in different frictional forces. The sliding properties of the interacting surfaces should be especially stressed.

Further, the difference between static friction and sliding friction should become clear.

Especially important for technical applications is the realisation that rolling friction is substantially less than sliding friction.
