Since there is no acceleration, the friction force, M g u cos 10, equals the component of the weight down the plane, M g sin 10
(u is the coefficient of friction). Note than the M and g cancel, and you are left with
u cos 10 = sin 10
u = tan 10 = 0.176
a block slides down an angle 10 incline at a constant speed. what is the coefficient of sliding friction between the block's surface and the incline?
