Step 1
1 of 3To determine whether the friction is necessary or not consider the figure below. We will assume there is friction and that it points towards the center of the curve. Balancing the forces in vertical direction we have
Requiring that all of the components in the direction towards the center provide for the centripetal force we have
From (eq-1) we have that
Returning this to (eq-2) premultiplied by we get
Using the trigonometric identity we find
yielding for friction
