Problem

A 2.0 kg2.0\,\text{kg} block rests on a rough incline. A vertical downward force of 5.0 N5.0\,\text{N} is applied to the top of the block. The block just begins to slide when the incline angle reaches 16∘16^{\circ}. Determine the coefficient of static friction between the block and the incline.
