Let the weight of vehicle = W in stopping condition the friction force F

should be greater than w sin θ to prevent the sliding F > w sin θ

From Figure,

F = w sinθ 

for a smaller value of θ 

tan θ = e = sin θ

F = w × e ...... (1)

We can also written,

F = w cosθ  × f

F = w × f (As θ is low so Cos θ = 1) .........(2)

From equation 1 & 2

w × f ≥ w × e

f > e
