The advertisement for a new shoe promises runners less slip. The coefficient of friction (μ) between concrete and a new material used in the sole of this shoe is 1.5. The force of friction that causes slip is equal to mg sinθ, where m is a runner’s mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity. The force that prevents slip is μmg cosθ.
Write an equation to find the angle at which a shoe with a coefficient of friction of 1.3 will slip.
At what angle will this shoe start to slip?
52.4 deg
57 deg
66.2 deg
77 deg
