Let us describe the forces that are applied to the body. Let the x-axis be directed along the inclined plane and y-axis be perpendicular to the plane. Therefore, the projection of forces on the y-axis is
y:−mgcosα+N=0, (1)
and on the x-axis
x:mgsinα−Ffr=ma. (2)
From (2) we get
Ffr=mgsinα−ma=m(gsinα−a)=18.0kg(9.8m/s2sin37∘−0.270m/s2)=101.3N.
We know that Ffr=μN=μmgcosα, so
μ=mgcosαFfr=18.0kg⋅9.8m/s2⋅cos37∘101.3N=0.719.
