That's exactly what I did in the first place, figured out at what angle tanθ > 0.4, but then I figured it must have been incorrect since it asked me to determine μ. Will email the lecturer and clarify what exactly they want us to find, as the problem seems to simple if this is the case...

Homework Statement A dump truck loaded with rock has a coefficient of static friction of 0.4, and a coefficient of kinetic friction of 0.2 between the rock and steel tray. If the truck tilts its bed to 25°, calculate the coefficient of static friction on the load. Hence calculate the angle...
