β€œA block with a mass of 12 kg is placed on an inclined plane at an angle of 25 degrees. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the inclined plane is 0.15, calculate the force of friction acting on the block. Show all work. A 20 kg object is sliding down an inclined plane at an angle of 40 degrees. If the coefficient of friction is 0.1, calculate the force of friction acting on the object. Show all work. ”
