F_st =mu_st * N
Some observant student will note that the vector nature of this
Equation is completely WRONG!
(an equal sign that connects force vectors which are orthogonal to
each other ! ! ! !)
If you use it as a Scalar Equation (without de-emphasizing that force
is a vector!)
then you would be well advised to replace the = sign
with the (more) correct < = (less than or equal to).
