The major reason why a wet saw that is used in cutting optical crystals is constantly lubricated with oil is largely due to friction, lubrication decreases friction and minimises the increase of internal energy.

Friction is basically the coming together of two parts that rubs against each other, it causes heat and lead to  deterioration of surfaces, it can also lead to wear and tear.

Although, despite it down side, friction is desire-able in most applications

e.g the brake system of vehicles, and if not for friction, we humans cannot walk without falling

allochka39001 [22]
There are a lot of same examples that you may have worked before, where the mass on a spring uses a classics when it comes to mechanics. So in this system, always put in your mind that there is an enormous quantum standard that one can use in the equation. It should be 2.10x10 raise to a negative sixth. J.
