Texture computes into the coefficient of friction.
The weight dictates the normal force

Sliding force of friction
= kinetic coefficient * force normal

So more weight and rougher surface --> more friction

Texture affects the surface by changing the effective surface area. A rough texture provides more effective surface area than a smooth texture.

Weight of the surface? Not clear what you mean. Hardness effects the friction. A soft material allows a closer interpenetration of the two surfaces and thus increases the area of contact and thus the friction.

A hard, smooth surface is the best from the point of view of minimising friction.

well...

Friction = weight * coefficient of friction

sliding force = force applied - friction...


the more rough the surface, the larger the coefficient of friction.
the more the object weighs, the larger the friction...

the larger the friction, the lower the sliding force... :D


is this right.?

The rougher the surface(s) and the more force between them, the greater will be the friction.
