A block is at rest on an inclined plane whose elevation can be varied. The coefficient of static friction is μs= 0.4, and the coefficient of kinetic friction is μk = 0.16. The angle of elevation θ is increased slowly from the horizontal. At what value of θ does the block begin to slide (in degrees)?

for this you just take the inverse tan of .4 and will get theta.
