2011 F = ma Exam — Question 25

25. A hollow cylinder with a very thin wall (like a toilet paper tube) and a block are placed at rest at the top of a plane with inclination θ above the horizontal. The cylinder rolls down the plane without slipping and the block slides down the plane; it is found that both objects reach the bottom of the plane simultaneously. What is the coeﬃcient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane? — Source: Question 25, 2011 F = ma Exam, © 2011 American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) and the U.S. Physics Team.
