A block is placed on a wooden plank, which is initially horizontal. One end of the plank is slowly raised to make it more and more inclined, and for a while the block stays in place on the plank and doesn't slide due to static friction. Finally, when the plank reaches an incline of 56.3oabove horizontal, the block begins to slide. What is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the plank?

- a) A delivery truck with two stacked crates in the back brakes quickly. The crate on the bottom just barely stays put on the floor of the truck. Does the top crate stay put or does it fall off? The top crate has a mass of 27.0 kg and the mass of the bottom crate is 22.0 kg. The coefficient of static friction between the bottom crate and the truck is 0.420, and the coefficient of kinetic friction for that surface is 0.350. The coefficient of static friction between the crates is 0.400, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.320. Hint: Don’t forget about Newton’s 3rd Law especially when dealing with friction between the two crates b) The top crate will slide off if it moves more than 87.5 cm.
