“A block begins to slide down an inclined plane when the angle of inclination is 25°. Calculate the coefficient of static friction between the block and the inclined plane. Show your work. An object is placed on an inclined plane. It is observed that the object starts to slide when the angle of the incline reaches 30°. Determine the coefficient of static friction between the object and the inclined plane. Show your work.”
