### Homework: Friction on an Inclined Plane

---

#### 1. Refer to Figure 1
A wooden block stands motionless on a ramp. Calculate the coefficient of static friction (\( \mu_s \)). Refer to the table below. What could be the physical composition of the ramp?

![Figure 1](#)
- Angle of incline: 31.8°

**Table: Friction Coefficients for Different Materials**

| Material 1 | Material 2       | \( \mu \)   |
|------------|------------------|-------------|
| Wood       | Wood (clean)     | 0.25 - 0.5  |
| Wood       | Wood (wet)       | 0.2         |
| Wood       | Concrete         | 0.62        |
| Wood       | Brick            | 0.6         |

#### 2. Refer to Figure 2
A block slides down with a constant speed of 12.0 m/s. Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction and how far it will travel down the ramp after 5.0 seconds.

![Figure 2](#)

**Explanation of Figures:**

- **Figure 1:** Illustrates a wooden block placed on an inclined ramp with an angle of 31.8°. The figure helps to determine the conditions under which the block remains motionless, implying equilibrium between the gravitational force component and the static friction.

- **Figure 2:** Although not fully visible, it appears to indicate a sliding block down a ramp. The known variables include the constant speed of 12.0 m/s and the time duration of 5.0 seconds, which will help in calculating the kinetic friction.

Please ensure you understand how to use the provided angle and friction table to solve for the required coefficients.
