Sep 3, 2016 at 11:33 comment added oshhh @JánLalinský I think I'm getting what u said...basically I am exerting a diagonal force on the floor which in turn exerts a reaction force. The horizontal component of this force, i.e. friction, is pushing the chair forward. Am I right?
Sep 3, 2016 at 11:25 comment added Ján Lalinský Friction is not causing the movement, you are. Friction just gives you means to interact with the ground so as to transfer horizontal momentum and push away. It is the same thing as with walking; friction force of the ground allows us to interact with the ground and walk.
Sep 3, 2016 at 11:14 comment added oshhh @JánLalinský How is friction causing the chair to move?
Sep 3, 2016 at 11:00 comment added Ján Lalinský The translation is possible thanks to friction force of the ground acting on the chair.
