    Μk sliding friction of a block down an Inclined Plane

    Lol, I don't think he wants me to dig too deep into it. Perhaps saying that the Normal force balances the mass of the block out so mass is not a factor in determining Mu of K is enough. :confused:

    Μk sliding friction of a block down an Inclined Plane

    lol, physics does not come so naturally to me. what are force balance equations? p.s. I'm not a man.

    Μk sliding friction of a block down an Inclined Plane

    thank you so much but the block is actually moving with constant velocity and not in static equilibrium!

    Μk sliding friction of a block down an Inclined Plane

    does the normal force balance out the weight of the block? :(

    Μk sliding friction of a block down an Inclined Plane

    the friction force depends on the normal force as well. right? so how is the normal force affecting it? about the muse my professor says it that way haha so i thought that was how it's spelt. :( i don't know how to draw a free-body diagram. but i am guessing there is a normal force from the...

    Μk sliding friction of a block down an Inclined Plane

    hey, thanks so much for the quick reply. Yes, it actually says muse of k and not s. Answering your previous question, I guess it depends on the material? Am i right or wrong. lolz How should i derive the equation muse of K = tan (theta) ? :((

    Μk sliding friction of a block down an Inclined Plane

    Homework Statement The data in my lab suggests that the mass of the block, M, does not have an effect on the inclination of the plane needed to have the block slide down with uniform velcoity. But its asking why this is so? And I do not know why! Someone please help me ASAP. Also, it...
