The conveyor belt shown below is inclined at an angle of 25 degrees. A 3kg package B is placed on the conveyor belt at the position shown with an initial velocity of 0 m/s with respect to the ground. The belt is moving quite fast, and as one could imagine the package is initially slipping, but it's accelerating at a rate of 3.05 m/s^2 until it catches up to the velocity of the belt. If this is the case, find the coefficient of friction between the belt and the package.
