Coefficient of friction, ratio of the frictional force resisting the motion of two surfaces in contact to the normal force pressing the two surfaces together. It is usually symbolized by the Greek letter mu (μ). Mathematically, μ = F/N, where F is the frictional force and N is the normal force. Because both F and N are measured in units of force (such as newtons or pounds), the coefficient of friction is dimensionless. The coefficient of friction has different values for static friction and kinetic friction. In static friction, the frictional force resists force that is applied to an object, and the object remains at rest until the force of static friction is overcome. In kinetic friction, the frictional force resists the motion of an object. For the case of a brick sliding on a clean wooden table, the coefficient of kinetic friction is about 0.5, which implies that a force equal to half the weight of the bricks is required just to overcome friction in keeping the bricks moving along at a constant speed, and the coefficient of static friction is about 0.6. The frictional force itself is directed oppositely to the motion of the object.

as a general rule, scissors have blades less than 6 in (15 cm) long and usually have handles with finger holes of the same size. shears have blades scissors used to cut hair or fabric must be much sharper.
