set the biggest side of the block on the table


dragged it slowly and measured the force it took


took note of the height of the graph and record it


repeat the process for the other sides


notice the differences

These varying results between the different surface areas could be due to both human error and the surface type as one side of the wood block may be smoother compared to another side.
