Question

A 44 kg block is sliding at a constant velocity down a ramp at an angle θ = 29.0° to the horizontal.

What is the coeficient of friction between the block and the reamp?

Answer 1

can start by getting the essential forces first... such as Fw

Answer 2

try drawing a diagram of the problem and label the forces acting on the block

Answer 3

remember that constant velocity = no acceleration

Answer 4

so if there is no acceleration Ff must equal Fs right?

Answer 5

tell me what forces are acting on this block

Answer 6

This is also dealing with Newton's Second Law \[\sum F=ma\] and you have to split it up two both components

Answer 7

the x and y components
