Coefficient of static friction between load and incline

AI Thread Summary
To determine the coefficient of static friction between a 266kg load and a 17º incline being pulled by a 1790N force, a free body diagram is essential for visualizing the forces involved. The problem requires clarification on whether the load is at the point of starting to move, as this affects the calculations. Multiple attempts to solve the problem have been made, but further details on the work done are needed for effective assistance. Understanding the forces acting on the load, including gravitational and frictional forces, is crucial. Properly analyzing these forces will lead to the correct calculation of the coefficient of static friction.

Draw a free body diagram of the problem and post your work.

Does it say the load is just at the point of starting to move?
 
Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
