In order for the object not to slip, the component of the weight parallel to the surface must be equal to the frictional force (which acts in the opposite direction):
F_{//}= F_a

The parallel component of the weight is:
F_{//} = mg \sin \alpha
where m is the object mass and \alpha is the angle of the inclined plane.

The frictional force is
F_a = \mu m g \cos \alpha
where \mu is the coefficient of static friction.

Equalizing the two forces, we have
mg \sin \alpha = \mu m g \cos \alpha
from which we find
\mu =  \tan \alpha

and so, in our problem the coefficient of static friction must be
\mu=\tan 51^{\circ} =1.23

A 5 kg ball takes 13.3 seconds for one revolution around the circle. What's the magnitude of the angular velocity of this motion
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer: 0.47 rad/sec

Explanation:

By definition, the angular velocity is the rate of change of the angle traveled with time, so we can state the following:

ω = ∆θ/ ∆t

Now, we are told that in 13.3 sec, the ball completes one revolution around the circle, which means that, by definition of angle, it has rotated 2 π rad (an arc of 2πr over the radius r), so we can find ω as follows:

ω = 2 π / 13.3 rad/sec = 0.47 rad/sec
