[Shotimes] Re: Friction on ice & snow

[Alan Fanning]

Going from memory here, but I believe the Force imparted on an object
sliding over another is the product of the friction coefficient TIMES the
weight of the object. So, I believe Don is correct when he refers to weight
having no effect on friction, but incorrect in implying that the resultant
force is unchanged.  'Course, it's been 30+ years since that class!
