A 10 kg box is on an inclined plane angled at 20° to the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the box and the plane is 0.3. Calculate the force of friction acting on the box. (Use g = 9.8 m/s²) A 25 kg block rests on an inclined plane that makes an angle of 45° with the horizontal. If the coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is 0.15, what is the force of friction acting on the block? (Use g = 9.8 m/s²)
