(1) describing the relationship between frictional and normal force is invariant as long as it would continue to hold under some interventions that that is, it should be possible to change the relationship or generalization governing the gravitational component without changing the relationship together" the original analysis of (Ex1) with the additional force component to produce an account of the new mechanism. the productive relationships at work in the mechanism is that it correctly ./cache/work_bmbsou5ykzc2bcyidpzdionpve.pdf ./txt/work_bmbsou5ykzc2bcyidpzdionpve.txt
