A 70 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 object is on an incline of 15° with a coefficient of friction of 0.1. Determine the force of friction acting on the object. Provide a step-by-step solution.
