coefficient of kinetic friction

coefficient of kinetic friction

[¦kō·ə′fish·ənt əv kə′ned·ik ′frik·shən]
(mechanics)
The ratio of the frictional force, parallel to the surface of contact, that opposes the motion of a body which is sliding or rolling over another, to the force, normal to the surface of contact, with which the bodies press against each other.
