An inclined plane is sliding, and accelerating, on a horizontal frictionless surface. There is a block at rest on the sloping surface, held in place by a static friction through the horizontal acceleration of the system. the coefficient of static friction between the block and the inclined plane is 0.615. the slope of the incline plane is 42.5 degrees with respect to the horizontal.
a) What is the minumum acceleration of the inclined plane for the square block not to slide?
I found a=1.891 m/s^2
b) what is the maximum acceleration of the inclined plane for
the square block not to slide?
