Question

A large stone block has been loaded in the bed of a dump truck. The bed is slowly raised until it makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal; at this point, the block starts to slide downward. What is the coefficient of static friction between the block and the truck bed?
coefficient of static friction=

Answer 1

Wt. of stone = m*g

Fp = mg*sin30=Force parallel to incline.

Fn = mg*cos30 = Normal force = Force
perpendicular to incline.

Fs = u*Fn = Force of static friction.

Fp-Fs = m*a = m*o = 0
Fp = Fs
mg*sin30 = u*mg*cos30
Divide both sides by mg:
sin30 = u*cos30
u = sin30/cos30 = 0.577 = Coefficient of static friction.

Porscheophiles. At least they're doing something rnaoseable with their Porsches unlike the Porsche 928 Pickup conversion. Even companies such as World Class Exotics have gotten into the mix providing electric
