A 120 kg box is on the verge of slipping down an inclined plane with an angle of inclination of 47º. What is the coefficient of static friction between the box and the plane?

Given :

A 120 kg box is on the verge of slipping down an inclined plane with an angle of inclination of 47º.

To Find :

The coefficient of static friction between the box and the plane.

Solution :

Vertical component of force :

Horizontal component of force(Normal reaction) :

Since, box is on the verge of slipping :

Therefore, the coefficient of static friction between the box and the plane is 1.07.

Hence, this is the required solution.

luster is not a good characteristic to use by itself because luster is the property of minerals that indicates how much the surface of a mineral reflects light. the luster of a mineral is affected by the brilliance of the light used to observe the mineral surface.

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.
