Assuming no wall friction: I found the value of the friction coefficient by setting the sum of the torques equal to 0 (since i knew the mass and angle) (Torque = 0 = mg(L/2)costheta - mg(friction coefficient)(L)sin theta.) However, this dosent help with the rest of the problem at all (I was...

Would it be possible for me to do this problem if I just let the static and kinetic friction be the same thing?

Hey, my name is Aditya and I am a sophomore in high school. I am currently enrolled in AP Physics and I really enjoy the class. In the future, I hope to pursue a career in research and space applications.

Homework Statement The following problem is part of a physics lab with unclear directions. The lab prompt says: Find the angular acceleration of a meterstick as it slips down a wall. Here is my interpretation of the lab: A meterstick of mass 0.15kg is leaning against the wall. At an angle of...
