Syn: Strength; vigor; might; energy; stress; vehemence;
violence; compulsion; coaction; constraint; coercion.
Usage: Force, Strength. Strength looks rather to power as
an inward capability or energy. Thus we speak of the
strength of timber, bodily strength, mental strength,
strength of emotion, etc. Force, on the other hand,
looks more to the outward; as, the force of
gravitation, force of circumstances, force of habit,
etc. We do, indeed, speak of strength of will and
force of will; but even here the former may lean
toward the internal tenacity of purpose, and the
latter toward the outward expression of it in action.
But, though the two words do in a few cases touch thus
closely on each other, there is, on the whole, a
marked distinction in our use of force and strength.
``Force is the name given, in mechanical science, to
whatever produces, or can produce, motion.' --Nichol.

Decomposites of three metals or more. --Bacon.
DecompositeDecomposite De`com*pos"ite, a. [Pref. de- (intens.) +

composite.

Friction compositionFtiction Ftic"tion, n. [L. frictio, fr. fricare, frictum,to
rub: cf. F. friction. See Fray to rub, arid cf.
Dentifrice.]
1. The act of rubbing the surface of one body against that of
another; attrition; in hygiene, the act of rubbing the
body with the hand, with flannel, or with a brush etc., to
excite the skin to healthy action.
2. (Mech.) The resistance which a body meets with from the
surface on which it moves. It may be resistance to sliding
motion, or to rolling motion.
3. A clashing between two persons or parties in opinions or
work; a disagreement tending to prevent or retard
progress.
Angle of friction (Mech.), the angle which a plane onwhich
a body is lying makes with a horizontal plane,when the
hody is just ready to slide dewn the plane.
Note: This angle varies for different bodies, and for planes
of different materials.
Anti-friction wheels (Mach.), wheels turning freely on
small pivots, and sustaining, at the angle formed by their
circumferences, the pivot or journal of a revolving shaft,
to relieve it of friction; -- called also friction
wheels.
Friction balls, or
Friction rollers, balls or rollers placed so as to receive
the pressure or weight of bodies in motion, and relieve
friction, as in the hub of a bicycle wheel.
Friction brake (Mach.), a form of dynamometer for measuring
the power a motor exerts. A clamp around the revolving
shaft or fly wheel of the motor resists the motion by its
friction, the work thus absorbed being ascertained by
observing the force required to keep the clamp from
revolving with the shaft; a Prony brake.
Friction chocks, brakes attached to the common standing
garrison carriages of guns, so as to raise the trucks or
wheels off the platform when the gun begins to recoil, and
prevent its running back. --Earrow.
Friction clutch, Friction coupling, an engaging and
disengaging gear for revolving shafts, pulleys, etc.,
acting by friction; esp.:
(a) A device in which a piece on one shaft or pulley is so
forcibly pressed against a piece on another shaft that
the two will revolve together; as, in the
illustration, the cone a on one shaft, when thrust
forcibly into the corresponding hollow cone b on the
other shaft, compels the shafts to rotate together, by
the hold the friction of the conical surfaces gives.
(b) A toothed clutch, one member of which, instead of
being made fast on its shaft, is held by friction and
can turn, by slipping, under excessive strain or in
starting.
Friction drop hammer, one in which the hammer is raised for
striking by the friction of revolving rollers which nip
the hammer rod.
Friction gear. See Frictional gearing, under
Frictional.
Friction machine, an electrical machine, generating
electricity by friction.
Friction meter, an instrument for measuring friction, as in
testing lubricants.
Friction powder, Friction composition, a composition of
chlorate of potassium, antimony, sulphide, etc, which
readily ignites by friction.
Friction primer, Friction tube, a tube used for firing
cannon by means of the friction of a roughened wire in the
friction powder or composition with which the tube is
filled.
Friction wheel (Mach.), one of the wheels in frictional
gearing. See under Frictional. Fugitive compositionsFugitive Fu"gi*tive, a. [OE. fugitif, F. fugitif, fr. L.
fugitivus, fr. fugere to flee. See Bow to bend, and cf.
Feverfew.]
1. Fleeing from pursuit, danger, restraint, etc., escaping,
from service, duty etc.; as, a fugitive solder; a fugitive
slave; a fugitive debtor.

parents are in tear? --Richardson
A libellous pamphlet of a fugitive physician. --Sir

2. Not fixed; not durable; liable to disappear or fall away;
volatile; uncertain; evanescent; liable to fade; --
applied to material and immaterial things; as, fugitive
colors; a fugitive idea.
The me more tender and fugitive parts, the leaves .
. . of vegatables. --Woodward.
Fugitive compositions, Such as are short and occasional,
and so published that they quickly escape notice.
Syn: Fleeting; unstable; wandering; uncertain; volatile;
fugacious; fleeing; evanescent.
