“A 5 kg box sits on an incline of 20°. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the incline is 0.35. Will the box slide down the incline? Show your calculations and explain your reasoning. A block of wood with a mass of 2 kg is placed on an inclined plane with an angle of 15°. The coefficient of static friction between the wood and the plane is 0.4. Will the block slide down the plane? Show your calculations and explain your reasoning.”
