Design and conduct experiments to test few ways how friction may be reduced.

Answer»

Friction is due to the roughness of surfaces. It can be reduced by the following methods.

– By polishing the rough surface. 

– By applying lubricants like oil and grease to the surfaces. 

– By spreading powder on the rough surface like carromboard. 

– By using soap and detergent solutions, etc. 

Experiment: The rusted pulley makes a rattling noise. Apply some oil in between the wheel and axle. The sound is reduced and now it works smoothly.
