Problem#2: On an inclined surface, resting a box with a mass of 50 kg. The box starts to move down the surface when the inclination of the surface is adjusted to 32°, calculate the coefficient of static friction between the box and the surface. If the mass of the box is increased to 135 kg, calculate the surface's inclination does the box start to slide downward.

A crate of mass 100.0 kg rests on a rough surface inclined at an angle of 37.0with the horizontal. A massless rope to which a force can be applied parallel to the surface is attached to the crate and leads to the top of the incline. In its present state, the crate is just ready to slip and start to move down the plane. The coefficient of friction is 80of that for the static case. (a) What is the coefficient of static friction? (b) What is the maximum force that can be applied upward along the plane on the rope and not move the block? (c) With a slightly greater applied force, the block will slide up the plane. Once it begins to move, what is its acceleration and what reduced force is necessary to keep it moving upward at constant speed? (d) If the block is given a slight nudge to get it started down the plane, what will be its acceleration in that direction? (e) Once the block begins to slide downward, what upward force on the rope is required to keep the block from accelerating downward?
