The friction force is the force exerted by a surface when an object exerts force across it.

$F_{f}=\mu F_{n}\,$

A coefficient of friction(μ) is a scalar proportion of two objects and their normal reaction.

There are 2 cases:

$\mu_k$ coefficient of friction when either or both objects are dynamic.

$\mu_s$
