“A 3 kg box rests on an inclined plane angled at 25°. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the plane is 0.4. Will the box slide down the plane? Show your calculations and explain your reasoning. A book is placed on an inclined ramp. The angle of the ramp is 15°, and the coefficient of static friction between the book and the ramp is 0.2. Will the book slide down the ramp? Show your calculations and explain your reasoning.”
