β€œA 4 kg box is placed on an inclined plane at an angle of 25Β°. The coefficient of static friction between the box and the plane is 0.3. Calculate the force of static friction acting on the box. Will the box slide down the plane? (g = 9.8 m/sΒ²) A 6 kg block is on an inclined plane at an angle of 30Β°. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is 0.25. Calculate the force of static friction acting on the block. Will the block slide down the plane? (g = 9.8 m/sΒ²)”
