Answer:

 μ= 0.0375,  kinetic

Explanation:

For this exercise we set a reference system with the x axis parallel to the chord

Y axis  

      N - W = 0

      N = W

     

X axis

      T - fr = 0

the expression for the friction force is

      fr = μ N

       

we substitute

       T - μ W = 0

       μ = T / W

we calculate

         μ = 1.5 / 40

        μ= 0.0375
