Serway & Jewett — The Laws of Motion: Problem 38

Why is the following situation impossible? A book sits on an inclined plane on the surface of the Earth. The angle of the plane with the horizontal is \(60.0^\circ\). The coefficient of kinetic friction between the book and the plane is \(0.300\). At time \(t = 0\), the book is released from rest. The book then slides through a distance of \(1.00 \text{ m}\), measured along the plane, in a time interval of \(0.483 \text{ s}\).
