My age is 18,University student.
Suppose I have an inclined plane made of any surface e.g wood ,leather
etc....I have a known mass to slide on incline.I know the angle at
which it will start sliding down the incline....What is coefficient of
kinetic friction..How can I calculate it with mass and "theeta" given..
F=ma
F(effective)-F(friction)=ma
Friction(kinetic)=(coefficient of K.Friction)*(Normal force)
.
.
.then what?

I thank all of you to solve my problem...I will only calculate
coefficient of static friction ...not coeff of Kinetic friction.
