## Frictional Force in a Knee Joint| Further Applications of Newton’s Laws: Friction, Drag, and Elasticity| College Physics| Problem 5.3

(a) When rebuilding her car’s engine, a physics major must exert 300 N of force to insert a dry steel piston into a steel cylinder. What is the normal force between the piston and cylinder? (b) What force would she have to exert if the steel parts were oiled?

## The Differential

On your Calculus I, the notation $latex \frac{dy}{dx}&s=1&bg=ffffff&fg=000000$ was regarded as a single symbol to denote the derivative of a function y=f(x) with respect to x. More specifically, you have used the symbol $latex \frac{dy}{dx}&s=1&bg=ffffff&fg=000000$ to denote the limit of the quotient $latex \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}&s=1&bg=ffffff&fg=000000$ as $latex \Delta x&s=1&bg=ffffff&fg=000000$ approaches 0. This module introduces the concept of … Continue reading The Differential
