Abstract
A wedge slides down a frictionless inclined plane that makes angle θ with the horizontal. A small block is placed at the horizontal top side of the wedge. During the slide, the block does not move relative to the wedge. Find the minimum possible coefficient of static friction μs between the block and the wedge.
