To determine the angle at which a cubical block just starts to slide down an inclined plane with a coefficient of friction \( \mu = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Forces Acting on the Block When the block is on the inclined plane, the forces acting on it are: - The gravitational force \( \vec{W} = mg \) acting downwards. - The normal force \( \vec{N} \) acting perpendicular to the surface of the incline. - The frictional force \( \vec{F_f} \) acting up the incline, opposing the motion. ...
