To find the coefficient of static friction (μs) between the block and the inclined plane, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Forces Acting on the Block When the block is at rest on the inclined plane, the forces acting on it are: - The gravitational force (mg) acting downwards. - The normal force (N) acting perpendicular to the surface of the inclined plane. - The frictional force (Fs) acting parallel to the surface of the inclined plane, opposing the motion. ...
