Homework Statement
Hi can anyone help me calculate the coefficient of friction between crates and a conveyor belt. The crate is moving up a 25O angle at a constant speed to a height of 12m.
Homework Equations
CoF=F/R
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't know if this is a trick question. My immediate response would be that he coefficient of friction is an empirical measurement and it has to be measured experimentally, it cannot be found through calculations. Therefore referencing the standard coefficients in a table which have already been published, such as 0.2 for wood on wood?
Have I got this right or should i be looking at another calculation such as angle of repose to answer my query?
Thanks in advance
