a mass of 4 kg rests on a horizontal plane the plane. the gradually inclined until at an angle 15 with the horizontal, the mass just bugins to slide. what is the cofficient of static friction between the block and the surface?

 M = 4 kg

x= theta =  15

Mgsinx = μMgcosx

then find μ = ?  if u find worng ans then tell me

Dear Vinay,

This is called angle of repose.

So coefficient of static friction = ms = tan(α) = tan(15°)
