Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 74AP
Why is the following situation impossible? A book sits on an inclined plane on the surface of the Earth. The angle of the plane with the horizontal is 60.0°. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the book and the plane is 0.300. At time t = 0, the book is released from rest. The book then slides through a distance of 1.00 m, measured along the plane, in a time interval of 0.483 s.
