A small body A starts sliding down from ...

A small body A starts sliding down from the top of a wedge (figure) whose base is equal to `l=2.10m`. The coefficient of friction between the body and the wedge surface is `k=0.140`. At what value of the angle `alpha` will the time of sliding be the least? What will it be equal to?
