A block is placed on an inclined plane. The angle of the plane is 35°, and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is 0.6. Will the block slide down the plane? 🤔 Explain your reasoning. A box is placed on an inclined ramp. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is 0.4. What is the maximum angle of the ramp, in degrees, at which the box will *not* slide down the ramp on its own? 📐 Show your work.
