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
