Abstract
A simple experiment is described where a metal ring was rotated in a vertical plane on a horizontal rod. The ring rotated about 100 times before coming to a stop, so the friction force on the ring remained very small. However, measurements of the rotation frequencies of the ring around the rod and around its centre of mass indicated that the ring was sliding rather than rolling, with an unusually low coefficient of sliding friction.
