b. If the angle is 50 degrees, what must be the value of coefficient of static friction in order to reach
static equilibrium?

3) a. What is the angle at the bottom right in order to reach static equilibrium if the plane is frictionless?
b. If the angle on the bottom right is 60 degrees, what must be the coefficient of static friction in order
to reach static equilibrium? (assume the tendency of motion is counter clockwise)
