Determine the coefficients of static and kinetic friction

Reference no: EM13246036

In order to determine the coefficients of friction between rubber and various surfaces, a student uses a rubber eraser and an incline. In one experiment, the eraser begins to slip down the incline when the angle of inclination is 36.7° and then moves down the incline with constant speed when the angle is reduced to 29.1°. From these data, determine the coefficients of static and kinetic friction for this experiment.
