Question 2

A crate of weight 15 N lies on a rough slope inclined at an angle of 20∘ 20^\circ\,20∘ to the horizontal. A horizontal force of 12 N acts on the crate and the crate is in equilibrium on the point of slipping up the slope.

a.

Find the coefficient of friction between the crate and the slope.

[7]
b.

The 12 N force is removed. Determine whether or not the crate moves.
