Question
A block of mass M = 539.0 g sits on a horizontal tabletop. The
coefficients of static and kinetic friction are 0.549 and 0.391,
respectively, at the contact surface between table and block. The
block is pushed on with a 13.6 N external force at an angle \theta
with the horizontal. a) What angle with respect to the horizontal will
lead to the maximum acceleration in horizontal direction of the block
for a given pushing force? (Give your answer in degrees and use the
unit "deg") b) What is the value of this maximum horizontal
acceleration?
