As shown in the image above, a physicist is experimenting upon a sliding object on a smooth inclined surface. He intends to find out at which angle of inclination does the object placed start to slide down. In other words, at which angle the force of gravity overcomes the force of friction.
Assume that the yellow plastic weighs . He observes that the angle of inclination at which the plastic slides down is .
Now he adds an additional to the plastic object. At which angle of inclination will the object slide down?
