Homework Statement
Given: A block of mass 0.30 kg rests on the inclined surface of a wedge of mass 1.0 kg. The wedge is acted on by a horizontal force and slides on a frictionless surface.
Question: If the coefficient of static friction between the wedge and the block is µs = 0.40, and the angle of the incline is 35°, find the maximum and minimum values of F for which the block does not slip.
Homework Equations
µ_s(F_n) = F_f
F_net = ma
