When you're given the coefficients of both kinetic and static friction, what can you determine from this information, and how do you go about finding it?
For example, I was given a problem in physics that says the following:
A loaded sled weighing 70N rests on a plane inclined at 20 degrees to the horizontal. Between the sled and the plane, the coefficient of static friction is 0.26, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.11.
a. What's the minimum magnitude of force that will start the sled moving up the plane?
b. What's the value of force required to move the block up the plane at constant velocity?
If there's any way that you can help with any aspect of this problem, I would be permanently in your debt! Thank you!
