A coefficient is always used in a multiplication. For example, in weight displacement, a coefficient of .4 is used as a rule of thumb, so if you are pushing a block that weighs 20 lbs on a smooth surface you will require a force (inertial) of 8 lbs to be applied againts the object to move it ( 20 X .4 = 8)
