Method: Joules.maximum_friction_force

Defined in:

lib/joules/forces.rb

.maximum_friction_force(coefficient_of_friction, normal_force) ⇒ Float

Calculates the maximum friction force given coefficient of friction and normal force.

Examples:

Joules.maximum_friction_force(0.4, 29.43) #=> 11.772

Parameters:

• coefficient_of_friction (Int, Float) —

  coefficient_of_friction >= 0

• normal_force (Int, Force) —

  normal_force is in newtons

Returns:

• (Float) —

  return value is in newtons

def maximum_friction_force(coefficient_of_friction, normal_force)
  return coefficient_of_friction * normal_force.to_f
