Which proves that the stylus does not melt the vinyl

John is right, the skating force is proportional to the stylus friction which follows the Coulomb / Amonton law; it is proportional to the downforce and independent of velocity.

If the vinyl liquefied at the interface the friction would become viscous loss which is velocity dependent and it would need to be increased for 45.
