Default Off Topic:Physics gurus please help.

doing a lab for physics. where you measure the anglular acceleration (alpha) using air mounted disks.

Question. Describe a procedure by which you measure the frictional forces in a system.
I have no clue how...any help would be appreciated.

If there were no friction, the discs should in theory never stop.
