Rolling Friction Force Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Rolling Friction Force.
Froll = Crr * N
- Where Froll is the Rolling Friction Force (N)
- Crr is the rolling resistance coefficient
- N is the normal force (N)
How to Calculate Rolling Friction Force?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the Rolling Friction Force.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the rolling resistance coefficient. In this example, the rolling resistance coefficient is given as .86.
- Next, determine the normal force (N). For this problem, the normal force (N) is given as 100.
- Finally, calculate the Rolling Friction Force using the equation above:
Froll = Crr * N
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation:
Froll = .86 * 100 = 86 (N)
Example Problem #2:
Using the same process as above, first define the variables required by the formula. In this case, these values are provided as the following:
rolling resistance coefficient = .75
normal force (N) = 200
Entering these values gives:
Froll = .75 * 200 = 150 (N)
