The Forces Acting on an Object Weighing W Units on an Inclined

Question 242

Multiple Choice

The forces acting on an object weighing W units on an inclined plane positioned at an angle of θ\theta with the horizontal (see figure) are modeled by
μWsinθ=Wtanθ\mu W \sin \theta = W \tan \theta
Where θ\theta is the coefficient of friction.Solve the equation for θ\theta and simplify the result.
