Friction Fraction
A student has two ramps, both of which are at an angle of 30o. Ramp 1 is frictionless and ramp 2 has friction.
The student also has two blocks, one for each ramp. She pushes the blocks up the ramps with the same initial velocity. The block on
ramp 2 only travels a fraction f = 0.625 as far as the block on ramp 1 before coming to a stop (i.e. d2 = 0.625*d1) .
Find the coefficient of sliding friction between the block and ramp 2.
Use at least 3 significant figures when entering your answer.
