Question 7

A block of weight 40 N lies on a rough board inclined at an angle of 10∘ 10^\circ\,10∘ to the horizontal. A horizontal force of 20 N acts on the block and the block is in equilibrium on the point of slipping up the board.

a.

Find the coefficient of friction between the block and the board.

[7]
b.

The 20 N force is removed. Determine whether or not the block moves.
