In a simple screw jack, the pitch of the screw is 9 mm and length of the handle operating the screw is 45 cm. The velocity ratio of the system is
The magnitude of the kinetic friction bears a constant ratio to the normal reaction between two surfaces. The ratio being slightly less than that in the case of limiting friction
The force of friction always acts in a direction opposite to that in which a body is moving
For moderate speeds the force of friction remains constant but decreases slightly with the increase of speed
