Example 4.16
An object of mass 3 kg rests on a plane. The coefficient of static friction and that of kinein
friction are given by Hs = 0.3 and pk = 0.2.
The plane is inclined at angle o to the horizontal.
(i) Find the maximum value of 0 for which the object remains at rest on the plane.
(ii) Find the acceleration of the object if it started sliding from rest down the plane at
angle Omax to the horizontal.
(ii) How long does it take the object to move, from rest, a distance of Imetre under the
conditions of (ii).
