I RECENTLY GOT STUCK SOLVING THIS PROBLEM WHERE I WASN'T ABLE TO DIFFRENTIATE PROPERLY.THE PROBLEM GOES HERE BY.

Q. A BLOCK OF MASS m IS KEPT ON THE TOP OF THE WEDGE HAVING AN ANGLE OF INCLINATION a .THE FRICTION COEFFECIENT OF FRICTION BETWEEN THE BLOCK AND THE HYPOTENUSE OF THE WEDGE IS 'k'.THE LENGTH OF THE BASE OF THE ROD IS b . FOR WHAT VALUE OF ANGLE a WILL THE TIME OF SLIDING BE LEAST?
