Question

1a. Draw a free body diagram for the box onthe ramp, assuming it’s at restand just about to start moving. Indicate allof the forces. Make sure to resolve the box’s weight into components that are parallel and perpendicular to the ramp. Refer to the mass of the box as m and the angle of the ramp as (theta).

 

1b. Write Newton’s 2nd Law for the forces that are parallel to the ramp. Start with ΣF_||= ma_||. (What is the value of a_||?)

 

1c. Solve for the coefficient of static friction. Your answer should only depend on the angle of the ramp.
