Talk:Traction

All I have here so far is a set of keywords that revolve around the concept of traction.

The idea is to use it as an tool for connecting easy-to-understand direct object lesson to advance one's mathdumb

Radio station

Traction is a radio station; http://www.tractionradio.com/ Well, it's more like a music streaming platform... though I suck at writing articles... 213.64.150.116 15:12, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I added it to the list - still need some cleanup...

== wondering == how do you decide what goes first on the list with multiple pages for one word, such as this? Casemods 21:46, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Surface area does affect traction.

Hello user SurfaceArea. You made some changes diff saying that traction is not affected by surface area, but traction is affected by surface area. Here's how. The coefficient of friction (COF) is not constant across all magnitudes of normal force. The COF increases as the magnitude of normal force decreases. Increasing surface area decreases normal force, which increases the COF, which increases the maximum static friction available, which is traction. I decided not to undo your changes since some of your new information is good. I encourage you instead to go back and rework your changes, merging back in the old stuff that explained this correctly. These links mention the change of COF with normal force. It took me a while to collect them. I hope you can use them. Good luck. -- Another Stickler (talk) 07:38, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
