KillGorack / Physics 2010 / A 10.0-kg mass is placed on a 25.0o incline and friction keeps it from sliding. The coefficient of static friction in this case is 0.580, and the coefficient of sliding friction is 0.520. The mass is given a shove causing it to slide down the incline. What is the frictional force while the mass is sliding?

The following physics responses are provided by a student and, as such, should be considered in that context. While every effort is made for accuracy, absolute correctness cannot be fully guaranteed.

Question A 10.0-kg mass is placed on a 25.0o incline and friction keeps it from sliding. The coefficient of static friction in this case is 0.580, and the coefficient of sliding friction is 0.520. The mass is given a shove causing it to slide down the incline. What is the frictional force while the mass is sliding?
