I'm having trouble with this one problem, I've tried everything with my given notes, but the right answer isn't coming up:
A block with a mass of 3.7 kg is placed at rest on a surface inclined at an angle of 52 degrees above the horizontal. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the surface is 0.40, and a force of magnitude F pushes upward on the block, parallel to the inclined surface. Calculate Fmin and Fmax.
For Fmax, I got 8.9, (had to report to 2 sigfigs), by using the formula fs,max = mu(static coefficient) x N. N = mgcos(theta). My answer was wrong. Please, if anyone can help me find how to do this, it would be greatly appreciated!
