The Y-direction equation
becomes:
Y: | ![]() |
The X-direction equation
becomes:
X: | ![]() |
Since we are interested in finding the maximum velocity before skidding we can require that the frictional force have its maximum value, ie Ffrictional = FStatic = mN
so our two equations become:
Y: | ![]() |
X: | ![]() |
Which can be combined to give:
and which simplifies to:
