A 25.0 kg box of textbooks rests on a loading ramp that makes an angle αα with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.250, and the coefficient of static friction is 0.350 As α is increased, find the minimum angle at which the box starts to slip. Express your answer in degrees.
Two blocks are positioned on surfaces, each inclined at the same angle of 55.4 degrees with respect to the horizontal. The blocks are connected by a rope which rests on a frictionless pulley at the top of the inclines as shown, so the blocks can slide together. The mass of the black block is 4.36 kg, and the coefficient of kinetic friction for both blocks and inclines is 0.290. Assume static friction has been overcome and that everything can slide.
