State the empirical laws of static and kinetic friction.

उत्तर
The empirical laws of friction are:
- Friction is independent of the surface of contact.
- The coefficient of kinetic friction is less than the coefficient of static friction.
- The direction of frictional force is always opposite to the motion of one body over the other.
- Frictional force always acts on the object parallel to the surface on which the object is placed,
- The magnitude of frictional force between any two bodies in contact is directly proportional to the normal reaction between them.

Starting from rest, a body slides down a 45° inclined plane in twice the time it takes to slide down the same distance in the absence of friction. The coefficient of friction between the body and the inclined plane is ______.
There are two inclined surfaces of equal length (L) and same angle of inclination 45° with the horizontal. One of them is rough and the other is perfectly smooth. A given body takes 2 times as much time to slide down, on rough surface than on the smooth surface. The coefficient of kinetic friction (μ) between the object and the rough surface is close to ______.
