Question

I am working on a Friction lab for my physics class, I will attach my data and graphs.

My experimental coefficient of kinetic friction is 4.375, which gives me a minimum angle (theta) = 77 degrees, which is really far off (experimentally 9.5 degrees).  Have I done something incorrectly?  The data is from my instructor (through a video). 

Thank you.

Do a percent error analysis between your theoretical and experimental values.
Part 5: Devised an experiment to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction
Connect a string to the block and suspend a mass over a pulley so that a block moves up the plane at
a constant speed. Draw a free-body diagram and derive an equation for the coefficient of kinetic
friction for this case in terms of the suspended mass, the mass of the block, and the angle of incline.
(Assume a massless, frictionless pulley)

Part 3: Determining the Coefficient of Kinetic Friction.
Now you need to determine the coefficient of kinetic friction. This done by placing the block on the
level plane and measuring the force that must be applied to the block to keep it moving at a constant
velocity. Again, the force is measured with a spring scale. After each measurement add mass to the
block in 100-gram increments. Take 5 force measurements for 5 different block weights. Record
your measurements in Table B. Video (4)
