The box is on the slope as in the picture. The length of the slope is
and the
height is .
The forces acting on the box are the force of gravity
and the
friction .
The force of gravity can be replaced by two components
and
. (The force
is parallel to the slope
and is perpendicular to
the slope.) The friction
is given by the formula
where
is the coefficient of the friction. Consider the standard acceleration of gravity
. Find the minimal value for the coefficient of the friction
to
ensure that the box does not move with an acceleration.
