Does the mass of an abject affect the coefficient of friction? Like the ramp shown in the photo. How would I explan it mathamaticly knowing that the coefficient of friction is equal to the slope like (TAN THETA as I got in the other photo )   like would I have to do an example with mass and one without mass to see the difference.
