Kinetic Friction

$F_k = mu_k * N$

$(mu_k)"kinetic friction coefficient"$

$(N)"normal force"$

The Kinetic Friction calculator computes the force of kinetic friction that occurs when two objects are moving relative to each other and rub together.

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

(μ_k) Kinetic Friction Coefficient
(N) Normal Force

Kinetic Friction (F_k): The calculator computes the kinetic force of friction in Newtons. However, this can be automatically converted to other force units via the pull-down menu.
