Area of Contact given Frictional Force Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Area of Contact given Frictional Force?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
Ac=Ff(γmτ1)+((1-γm)τ2)
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
Ac=25N(0.50.03N/mm²)+((1-0.5)0.01N/mm²)
Next Step Convert Units
Ac=25N(0.530000Pa)+((1-0.5)10000Pa)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
Ac=25(0.530000)+((1-0.5)10000)
Next Step Evaluate
Ac=0.00125
LAST Step Convert to Output's Unit
Ac=1250mm²
