Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
i have tried to break all the equations i know into their parts like x and y components using just variables since no numbers are given but i just can't seem to isolate for something multiplied to μ. For some reason i think it is just μ but i do not truly understand why this would be if anyone could help it would be really appreciated as it is the last question in an online assignment and i have been working at it for quite some time. Thanks in advance.
