A wooden block is kept n a polished woden plank and the inclination of the plank is gradually increased. It is found that the block starts slipping when the pland makes an angle of `18^@` with the horizontal. However, once started the block can continue with uniform speed if the inclination is reduced to `15^@`. Find the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between the block and the plank. |

Answer» The coefficient of static friction `mu_s=tan18^0` and the coefficient of kinetic friction is `mu_k=tan 15^0` |
