A Block of Mass M Is Held Motionless on a Frictionless

Question 28

Multiple Choice

A block of mass M is held motionless on a frictionless inclined plane by means of a string attached to a vertical wall as shown in the drawing.  A block of mass M is held motionless on a frictionless inclined plane by means of a string attached to a vertical wall as shown in the drawing.   -Assume the plane is not frictionless and the string breaks, what minimum value of the coefficient of static friction,  \mu <sub>s</sub>, would prevent the block from sliding down the inclined plane? A) zero B) 1 C) cos  \theta  D) sin  \theta  E) tan  \theta
