Q1: What instrument do we use for measuring friction?

[Answer]

The amount of friction changes with the force holding two surfaces together.

This means that the more force there is holding the surfaces together, the more the friction, or grip, there is and the harder it is to move the objects.

We can measure the force of friction using a special gauge called a forcemeter.
