A 60 kg mass is placed on an incline that makes an angle of 40° with respect to the horizontal. If the coefficient of friction between the mass and the incline is 0.25, calculate the force of friction acting on the mass. Show all work. A 25 kg block is on an incline of 20° with a coefficient of friction of 0.1. Calculate the force of friction acting on the block as it slides down the incline. Show all work.
