Friction on a tilted surface

You know how to deal with friction between a box and a horizontal surface, like the floor or a table. But what if the box sits on a tilted surface?

Okay, now that you know how to deal with tilted surfaces, let's add friction to the mix.

So, now you know the coefficient of kinetic friction between block and track. What about the coefficient of STATIC friction? How can you measure it?
