The term is a portmanteau of the term " static friction ", perhaps also influenced by the verb " stick ".
22.
When slippage occurs the ratio of the magnitude of the frictional force to the normal force yields the coefficient of static friction.
23.
Initially, when the bow is moved across the string, static friction causes the string to momentarily move with the bow.
24.
Since static friction is greater than dynamic friction for almost all materials-this is the best you can do for maximum accelleration.
25.
In the second example ( interleaved books ), the coefficient of static friction is high, so a high force is required.
26.
As I stated before, our disagreement lies in the definitions of " normal force " and " coefficient of static friction ".
27.
For a situation with no movement, the static friction force " exactly " balances the applied force resulting in no acceleration.
28.
In modern engineering terminology, it is an extreme manifestation of what is now called static friction, or " stiction ".
29.
This equation provides the maximum velocity for the automobile with the given angle of incline, coefficient of static friction and radius of curvature.
30.
The coefficient of static friction, typically denoted as " ? " s, is usually higher than the coefficient of kinetic friction.
