Halliday, Resnick & Walker — Force and Motion–II: Problem 78
A student wants to determine the coefficients of static friction and kinetic friction between a box and a plank. She places the box on the plank and gradually raises one end of the plank. When the angle of inclination with the horizontal reaches $30^{\circ}$, the box starts to slip, and it then slides $2.5 \text{ m}$ down the plank in $4.0 \text{ s}$ at constant acceleration. What are (a) the coefficient of static friction and (b) the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the plank?
