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.

    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.

    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)?

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?
