Problem 2.17 Figure 2.28 shows a simple experimental method to determine the coefficient of static friction between surfaces in contact. This method is applied by placing a block on a horizon- tal plate, tilting the plate slowly until the block starts sliding over the plate, and recording the angle that the plate makes with the horizontal at the instant when the sliding occurs. This critical angle () is called the angle of repose. At the instant just before the sliding occurs, the block is in static equilibrium. Fig. 2.28 Problem 2.17 Through force equilibrium, show that the coefficient of static friction just before motion starts is u = tan 0c.

Question
Problem 2.17 Figure 2.28 shows a simple experimental method
to determine the coefficient of static friction between surfaces in
contact. This method is applied by placing a block on a horizon-
tal plate, tilting the plate slowly until the block starts sliding
over the plate, and recording the angle that the plate makes
with the horizontal at the instant when the sliding occurs. This
critical angle (O) is called the angle of repose. At the instant just
before the sliding occurs, the block is in static equilibrium.
Fig. 2.28 Problem 2.17
Through force equilibrium, show that the coefficient of static
friction just before motion starts is µ = tan 0c.
