A 2 kg block is placed on an inclined plane with an angle of 20°. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is 0.15. Calculate the acceleration of the block down the incline. A 3 kg box slides down an inclined plane with an angle of 25°. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and the plane is 0.2. Calculate the acceleration of the box down the incline.
