Thanks for posting this. Very interesting!

See attached screenshot. The friction has a lot of "noise" (to be expected) but it appears to be independent of velocity. So I fit a least-squares line instead of a quadratic. I'd say the friction is darn close to 6 Newtons.

Arghh. Won't let me attach screenshot. I'm going to upload it with the paper attachments.

OK, here's a link to the screenshot:
