0.445

Explanation:

In friction, the coefficient of friction formula is expressed as;

$\mu = \frac{F_f}{R}$

Ff is the frictional force = Wsinθ

R is the reaction = Wcosθ

Substitute inti the equation;

$\mu = \frac{Wsin \theta}{W cos\theta} \\\mu = \frac{sin \theta}{cos\theta} \\\mu = tan \theta$

Given

θ = 24°

$\mu = tan 24^0\\\mu = 0.445\\$

Hence the coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the ramp is 0.445
