Relationship between slope angle, friction force and velocity.

(a) Velocity against time for a 1-kg and a 68-g cube with friction coefficient of 0.1 is plotted for 1° to 10° slope angles. No sliding occurred (velocity = 0 m/s at all times) at 1°, 2° and 4° slopes. (b) Comparison of Fp and Ff for a 68-g cube with 0.1 friction coefficient. As slope angle declined, the cube required more force to overcome friction and start moving. (c) Comparison of Fp and Ff for a 1-kg cube with 0.1 friction coefficient. The angle where Fp overcomes Ff is the same for both the 68-g cube and the 1-kg cube.
