A \(15\,\text{N}\) force is pushing a \(40\,\text{N}\) block down an incline. The angle of the incline is \(\alpha = 40^{\circ}\). The coefficient of static friction between the block and the incline is \(\mu_s = 0.75\) and the coefficient of kinetic friction is \(\mu_k = 0.65\).(a) Determine whether the block will slide on the plane. , (b) If the block slides, indicate whether it will slide up or down the plane. , (c) Calculate the magnitude of the friction force between the block and the plane. :
