Question 1121350: Solve for θ in the following equation. Explain each step thoroughly. (m and g are separate variables, while sin and cos are NOT variables)
mgsinθ = μmgcosθ Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! remove mg from both sides
sin theta=mu cos theta
sin theta/cos theta=mu=tan theta
tan^(-1) theta of both sides
theta=tan^(-1) mu
