Packages having a mass of 2.5 kg ride on the surface of the conveyor belt. If the belt starts from rest and with constant acceleration increases to a speed of 0.75 m/s in 2 s, determine the maximum angle of tilt, θ, so that none of the packages slip on the inclined surface AB of the belt. The coefficient of static friction between the belt and each package is μs = 0.3. At what angle ϕ do the packages first begin to slip off the surface of the belt if the belt is moving at a constant speed of 0.75 m/s?
