A 3.47 kg block is placed at one end of a wooden plank that is 9.05 m long. The plank is slowly tilted. (a) The block starts to slide when the angle reaches 70 degrees. What is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the ramp? (b) The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp is about uR = 0.13. At what rate will the block accelerate down the plank if it is tilted at 60 degrees?

Question

A 3.47 kg block is placed at one end of a wooden plank that is 9.05 m long. The plank is slowly tilted.

(a) The block starts to slide when the angle reaches 70 degrees. What is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the ramp?
(b) The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the ramp is about uR = 0.13. At what rate will the block accelerate down the plank if it is tilted at 60 degrees?
