A student wants to determine the coefficient of static friction μs\mu_s between a block and a wooden board. The student places the block on the board and slowly raises one end of the board, increasing the angle of inclination θ\theta until the block just begins to slide. Which of the following expressions represents μs\mu_s in terms of the angle θmax\theta_{max} at which the block starts to slide?
