Answer:
0.56
Explanation:
Let the coefficient of friction is μ.
m = 4.3 kg, θ = 30 degree, initial velocity, u = 0, s = 2.7 m, t = 5.8 s
By the free body diagram,
Normal reaction, N = mg Cosθ = 4.3 x 9.8 x Cos 30 = 36.49 N
Friction force, f = μ N = 36.49 μ
Net force acting on the block,
Fnet = mg Sinθ - f = 4.3 x 9.8 x Sin 30 - 36.49 μ
Fnet = 21.07 - 36.49μ
Net acceleartion, a = Fnet / m
a = (21.07 - 36.49μ) / 4.3
use second equation of motion
s = ut + 1/2 a t^2
2.7 = 0 + 1/2 x (21.07 - 36.49μ) x 5.8 x 5.8 / 4.3
By solving we get
μ = 0.56
