Introductory Static Friction on an Incline Problem
Looking for AP Physics 1 study guides, multiple choice problems, free response question solutions and a practice exam? www.ultimatereviewpacket.com/...
A book is resting on a board. One end of the board is slowly raised. The book starts to slide when the incline angle is 15°. What is the coefficient of static friction between the book and the incline?
Want Lecture Notes? www.flippingphysics.com/static... This is an AP Physics 1 Topic.
0:00 The example
0:44 Drawing the free body diagram
1:41 Net force in the parallel direction
2:11 Demonstrating why the acceleration in the parallel direction is zero
3:58 Force normal does not equal force of gravity
4:32 Net force in the perpendicular direction
5:07 Return to the parallel direction
6:06 Substituting in numbers
You can use the "Measure" App in iOS to measure an incline angle like this.

Thanks for the video! Really helping me with my physics homework! I had a question where I was trying to figure out the maximum angle a driveway could be above the x-axis before it started to roll down given a coefficient of static friction = 0.94. And I figured it out! I'm so happy rn, AP Physics is actually destroying me.
Awesome video! My college physics class was stumping me (especially with friction).

I certainly enjoy your videos. I have a question based on this video. If a block is at rest on the incline plane at an angle of 30 degrees, would the maximum frictional force that would allow the block to stay in place be calculated using 30 degrees, OR would we have to find the minimum angle of the incline plane needed for the block to slide before we can determine the maximum frictional force? That is, find that minimum angle and then substitute it in the formula for fs(max) = UsMgcos (minimum angle needed for block to slide)?
You sir are awesome

is the coefficient of static friction always equal to tan theta or just in this case?

So this is way more though out for explaining but I'm still confused. I've been given a measure an object of 400g on a protractor of 20 degrees and an equation of sin/cos = u What's the coefficient of friction if I have no other measures to go off other than just an angle. Am I missing something here?

@@FlippingPhysicswell I don't want to say I'm a dunce but just utter confusion over the problem at hand. Physics is the weakest part of my scientific journey and it gives me complete brain fuzz. The materials I was given, I feel, were very half assed, so though I now understand from this that cos/sin is the answer, I still don't "get it" in that I'm looking for numbers that I don't see. All I have is an angle of 20 degrees which at the point the object started to slide down the ramp. So what am I not getting? No matter how many times I go over it it just isn't breaking through my mind barrier. I have no distances to work with. Am I being an idiot?

In the end, we prove that the coefficient of static friction between the book and the incline equals tangent(theta). The point is that you need to _understand_ how to solve for that.
Nice shirt really kept me focused on you during the talking parts of the video. Also nice females in the corners of the board they served their purpose!!!
The effect of gravity is weight and points directly down, not at a right angle to the slope.
