Summary

Two apple cultivars with two different degrees of ripeness were hand picked from trees and placed in environments with temperatures of either 6, 12, 18, 24 or 30 °C. Friction tests were performed on whole apples against masonite, rubber, plastic and cardboard paper surfaces. More ripe apples had higher friction coefficients than less ripe apples.
