Physics

An inclined plane is sliding, and accelerating, on a horizontalfrictionless surface. There is a block at rest on the slopingsurface, held in place by static friction through the horizontalacceleration of the system. The coefficient of static frictionbetween the block and the inclined plane is 0.615. The slope of theincline plane is 40.5 degrees with respect to the horizontal.
What is minimum acceleration of the inclined plane for the squareblock not to slide? What is maximum acceleration of the inclinedplane for the square block not to slide?
