If Theta is the maximim angle so that the crate stays in place,
Let Mu be the coefficient of static friction
Let N be the Normal force (Gravitational component ...
Solution Summary
The maximum angle of slope is determines using Newton's laws with a static friction between the crate and the bed of 0.400.
