A 10 kg box is placed on an inclined plane that makes an angle of 40° with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the box and the plane is 0.1. Calculate the acceleration of the box down the incline. A 25 kg block is placed on an inclined plane that makes an angle of 20° with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is 0.3. Calculate the acceleration of the block down the incline.
