Clarification about friction equation !
Suppose there is an object on the top of a ramp at a rest would these equation/s be correct to preform calculations considering friction applies
[tex]\Sigma[/tex]F_y = n - (m * g * Cos[tex]\Theta[/tex]) = 0
[tex]\Sigma[/tex]F_x = (m * g * Sin[tex]\Theta[/tex]) - ([tex]\mu[/tex]_s * n) = 0
Suppose there is an object on the top of a ramp was sliding downwards would these equation/s be correct to preform calculations considering friction applies
[tex]\Sigma[/tex]F_y = n - (m * g * Cos[tex]\Theta[/tex]) = 0
[tex]\Sigma[/tex]F_x = (m * g * Sin[tex]\Theta[/tex]) - ([tex]\mu[/tex]_s * n) = (m * a) or
[tex]\Sigma[/tex]F_x = (m * g * Sin[tex]\Theta[/tex]) - ([tex]\mu[/tex]_k * n) = (m * a)
Note : ([tex]\mu[/tex]_k * n) would be located at ([tex]\mu[/tex]_s * n)

My Question is are these formulas correctly represented so that i could solve any question that involves static and kinetic friction
