B23. Inclined Plane
DYNAMICS - Frictional Forces
The coefficient of static friction is measured by placing a wooden block on an incline and adjusting the incline until it slips. This can also be done with plastic bins of different weights but the same surface area, a rubber hockey puck and a plastic bin, and two peices of wood with the same mass but different surface areas. The angle is determined with a digital readout level or by trigonometry.
