A 20 kg box is placed on an inclined plane that makes an angle of 45° with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the box and the incline is 0.1. Calculate the acceleration of the box down the incline. Assume g = 9.8 m/s². A 100 kg crate is on an inclined plane with an angle of 60° relative to the horizontal. If the coefficient of friction between the crate and the plane is 0.3, what is the acceleration of the crate down the incline? Assume g = 9.8 m/s².
