To determine the coefficients of friction between rubber and various surfaces, a student uses a rubber eraser and an incline. In one experiment, the eraser begins to slip down the incline when the angle of inclination is 36.0o and then moves down the incline with constant speed when the angle is reduced to 30.0o. From these data, determine the coefficients of static and kinetic friction for this experiment.

In regions of low humidity, one develops a special "grip" when opening car doors, or touching a metal doorknob. This involves placing as much of the hand on the device as possible, not just the ends of one's fingers. Discuss the induced charge and explain why this is done.
