A block is placed on a rough plane inclined at 300 to the horizontal. if the block, when released, slides down the plane with an acceleration of 0.15 m/s2, calculate the coefficient of friction between the block and the plane.
Added by Robert G.
Step 1
First, we need to understand the forces acting on the block. There are three main forces: the weight of the block (mg), the normal force (N), and the frictional force (f). Show more…

Adi S.
a 25 N block is being pushed up a plane inclined 30 deg with the horizontal by force of 46 N applied parallel to the plane. The block moves 3 m. up the plane. Find the normal force. The coefficient of friction is 0.2
Akancha C.
A $3.00-\mathrm{kg}$ block starts from rest at the top of a $30.0^{\circ}$ incline and slides a distance of $2.00 \mathrm{m}$ down the incline in 1.50 s. Find (a) the magnitude of the acceleration of the block, (b) the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and plane, (c) the friction force acting on the block, and (d) the speed of the block after it has slid $2.00 \mathrm{m}$.
