Determine the coefficient of kinetic friction

Reference no: EM13318519

A student wishes to determine the coeffiecient of static between a block of material and a wooden board. He places the board on a table, places the block on the board and gradually raises one end of the board. When the end of the board has been raised 20 cm the block slides 77.3 cm down the entire length of the board in 1.6 seconds . Find

(a) the coefficient of static friction

(b) the coefficient of kinetic friction

(d) How hard must one press on the block, perpendicular to the inclined surface to prevent it from sliding down a 30 degree incline?
