An experiment was performed in order to determine the magnitude of that portion of dry, kinetic friction which is contributed by Coulomb friction, or the mechanical interlocking of surface irregularities. The results indicate that the work of the mechanical component of friction accounts for only a few percent of the work of total measured friction.
