Answer:

μ =tanθ

Explanation:=

The ratio of the force of static friction and the normal reaction is equal to tanθ. F=mgsinθ. R = mgcosθ.

μ=tanθ

Answer: So the static friction force must be equal to g*m*cos( θ)

Explanation: The force downwards of the block will be equal to the component with respect of where it can move.

So the force downwards will be:

F = Weight*cos( θ)

And we know that the weight is w = -m*g where g is the gravitational acceleration.

F = -g*m*cos( θ)

And we know that the block is at rest, so the net forces on it are equal to zero, this means that the gravitational force must be canceledby other one, and this can be the static friction force.

So the static friction force must be equal to g*m*cos( θ)
