“A block is sliding down a ramp at a constant speed. If the force of gravity pulling the block down the ramp is 10 N, what is the magnitude and direction of the friction force acting on the block? A box is pushed up a ramp with an applied force of 25 N. If the friction force acting on the box is 8 N, what is the net force acting on the box along the ramp? In what direction does friction act? ”
