Answer:

The maximum value of θ that will cause the block to remain stationary on the inclined surface is 21.8°

Explanation:

Given;

coefficient of static friction, μ = 0.4

for the block to remain stationary on the inclined plane, force pushing the block upward must be equal to the force acting downwards.

μR = mgsinθ

μmgcosθ = mgsinθ

μcosθ = sinθ

μ = sinθ/cosθ

μ = tanθ

θ = tan⁻¹(0.4) = 21.8°

Therefore, the maximum value of θ that will cause the block to remain stationary on the inclined surface is 21.8°

Describe What It Was Like Before The Big Bang. Vision It In Your Head.
Inessa05 [86]
That's a loaded question. Well to me, through what I have heard from others and theories, I imagine there was other universes before us. It wasn't just nothingness, there was another universe, perhaps in another dimension that either ended or is still around today. Alternate dimensions are a theory, so it was probably just a matter of when ours would be born. We could've been the result of reaching the singularity in a black hole or we could've been the continuation of a grand generation of universes. Either way, I think before us there was other things that filled the void of darkness that we imagine to be before us.

There are two uncharged objects, A and B. Some electrons move from A to B. How does the charge of the two objects change?
miskamm [114]
A becomes positive, while b is now negative. Basically, electrons are negative particles. If they go to somewhere, they make the somewhere they go to negative.
