Solve for θ.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For which problem?

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

crap hang on.

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

\[mg \sin \theta = \mu mg \cos \theta ((M+m)/(m))\]

myininaya (myininaya):

divide both sides by cos(theta) and divide both sides by mg

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tan(theta)mg=um(M+m)/m tan(theta)=u(M+m)/m theta=tan^-1(u(M+m)/m) someone check me

myininaya (myininaya):

then you get \[\frac{\sin(\theta)}{\cos(\theta)}=\mu \frac{\not{m}\not{g}}{\not{m}\not{g}} \frac{M+m}{m}\]

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\tan(\theta)=\mu \frac{M+m}{m} => \theta=\tan^{-1}(\mu \frac{M+m}{m})\]

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

whoa where di tan theta come from?!?!

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

*did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divided both sides by cos(theta) because remeber sin/cos=tan from trig?

OpenStudy (smurfy14):

oh ok its been awhile lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know we all have that moment, haha
