Aug 19, 2011 at 0:38 comment added Carlo Beenakker the friction coefficient $γ$ can also be called a viscosity (or, more precisely, dynamic viscosity); the unit $Nsm^{-2}$ is called a "Poise" in the hydrodynamical context (after the French physicist Poiseuille). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscosity#Dynamic_viscosity
Aug 18, 2011 at 20:12 comment added Chong Luo But according to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friction#Coefficient_of_friction, the friction coefficient is a dimensionless scalar. Obviously your $\gamma$ and their "coefficient of friction" are different. Is there another name for physics quantity with units $N s m^{-2}$?
