A block of mass is placed on an inclined plane with an angle of relative to the horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the incline is , what is the magnitude of the friction force acting on the block as it slides down the incline?
A block of mass rests on an inclined plane connected to a second mass hanging vertically via a pulley. The inclined plane makes an angle with the horizontal. Assuming the surface of the inclined plane is frictionless, what is the acceleration of the mass up the incline if is accelerating downwards?
