how to calculate the frictional force of an object in matlab

To calculate the frictional force of an object in Matlab, you need to know the coefficient of friction and the force acting on the object. The formula to calculate the frictional force is given as:

frictional_force = coefficient_of_friction * normal_force

Where the normal force is the force perpendicular to the surface on which the object is placed. Here's the Matlab code to calculate frictional force:

main.m
coefficient_of_friction = 0.3; % coefficient of friction
force = 50; % force acting on the object in Newtons
normal_force = 100; % normal force in Newtons

frictional_force = coefficient_of_friction * normal_force;

In this example, the frictional force would be:

main.m
frictional_force = 

   30

So the frictional force acting on the object is 30 Newtons.
