Finding Coefficient of Friction for Mass Sliding Down 60 degree Inclined Plane
Question: A block of mass m slides down the plane inclined at an angle 60o with an acceleration g/2 .Find the coefficient of kinetic friction. Solution: Finding the coefficient of friction As the block of mass m is moving on the inclined plane , the kinetic friction fk comes into play. The forces acting on…
