प्रश्न
List three ways of reducing friction.
Advertisements
उत्तर
Ways to reduce friction:
- Providing ball bearings or wheels between the moving parts of the machine or vehicles reduces friction and allow smooth movement as rolling friction is less than sliding friction.
- Oiling or lubricating (with graphite or grease) the moving parts of a machine reduces friction. Fine powder like talcum powder also works as a lubricant to reduce friction.
- Polishing the rough surface reduces friction offered by it.
- Streamlining (giving special shape to experience minimum drag) the bodies of aeroplanes, cars, boats, and ships help reduce drag (fluid friction) while travelling through air or water.
