    Finding magnitude of tension that causes object to slip

    Thank you for the welcome! I considered this and thought I had done right when instead of multiplying the mass of the object by just gravity, as is the case when the object is on a flat surface, I multiplied the mass by the y component of its weight. I see now where I went wrong because that...
