One model describing this phenomenon is named for Tomlinson, which results in a slip-stick variety if a namesake parameter is greater than 1. For a belt-pulley system, this quantity is proportional to e to the angle the belt makes leaving the pulley versus entering it. One law by Coulomb and two laws by Amonton describe it, and its usual mechanical form is given by the normal force of an object times its namesake coefficient. It comes in static and kinetic varieties, and this force always opposes the direction of motion. For 10 points, name this force that results from two surfaces being in contact.
