When two elastic solids of known interfacial and surface energies are placed in contact, various types of force are involved. It is shown that both the adhesive force and the peripheral attractive force are equal to one-half the difference between the apparent Hertz load and the applied load. A simple formula enables values of these forces to be derived.
