A block is placed on a wooden plank, which is initially horizontal. One end of the plank is slowly raised to make it more and more inclined, and for a while the block stays in place on the plank and doesn't slide due to static friction. Finally, when the plank reaches an incline of 56.3oabove horizontal, the block begins to slide. What is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the plank?
A snowboarder and his board with a combined mass of 50.0 kg moving at 9.50 m/s are about to go up an incline of angle 34.9 degrees, but due to friction only make it up a vertical height of 2.00 m. What was the coefficient of friction?
