Yes of course I know that! I understand the question completely I don't need any help interpreting it, the problems are very do-able, but as I said I need help on finding out the right equation to use since there are so many. Just a simple reference to the name of some equations would help...

static friction vs. kinetic friction. static being the force needed to get the object moving, and kinetic the force needed to keep the object in motion (always less then static) my biggest issue is finding the right combination of equations to use... any help?

Homework Statement If a mass of 609 kg travels in a circle with a radius of 102 m, and the μ= .13, and the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2. What is the max velocity that the mass can go without canceling out the force of friction? Homework Equations ? The Attempt at a Solution...
