During a snowstorm an 75.1 kg student was standing on a concrete ramp,
hoping not to slip on the slushy snow. The incline of the ramp was 15.1
degrees. What is the minimum coefficient of friction needed on this incline
for the student to remain stationary, without sliding down?
Create a free body diagram to assist you. The minimum coefficient of friction
will be that coefficient at which the friction force equals the force acting on
the student to move her down the incline. (3 pts)
Remember, Ff = mu*N (where mu is the coefficient of friction and N is the
force perpendicular to the surface).
Round your answer to the nearest 0.01
