Homework Statement
A crate resting on a rough plane is found to be on the verge of sliding when the plane is inclined at an angle of 40 degrees to the horizontal. Calculate the coefficient of static friction between the crate and plane. [
Homework Equations
f(s)<_(Mu(s))N
<_ is meant to resemble less than or equal to.
The Attempt at a Solution
All I know is the equaton i presented above, other than that I don't have a clue where to start on this one as it only provides an angle whereas the equation needs more values. If there are any other equations for static friction that this equation needs please could you post it so I can learn that and then attempt the question using the new equation.
