@bmtran (Bryant Tran) on 7 Feb 2012

could you define "friction factor"?

Nikolai on 7 Feb 2012

I meant the coefficient of friction

@bmtran (Bryant Tran) on 7 Feb 2012

In that case, what are you using for acceleration due to gravity?

@bmtran (Bryant Tran) on 7 Feb 2012

For those wondering, it's 9.80665

Nikolai on 7 Feb 2012

Thanks to @bmtran, a bug in testing procedures was resolved.

Rafael S.T. Vieira on 14 Jul 2020

For those still wondering, the disk is dimensionless.
