The coefficient of this phenomenon is plotted on the y-axis of the Stribeck curve.
This phenomenon is described on the atomic scale by the Prandtl-Tomlinson model and also names a dimensionless factor in the DarcyÂ–Weisbach equation. A law named for Guillaume Amontons states this phenomenon is independent of area. The coefficient of this phenomenon is plotted on the y-axis of the Stribeck curve. Triboelectricity is generated by this force, which is also responsible for damping oscillations and converting kinetic energy into thermal energy. The static type of this force exists between a stationary object and the surface upon which it rests. For 10 points, name this force that two bodies in contact exert on each other.
