“A 2 kg block rests on an inclined plane. The angle of the incline is 20°, and the coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is 0.3. Will the block slide down the incline? Show your calculations and explain your reasoning. (Assume g = 9.8 m/s²) A book is placed on an inclined plane. The angle of the incline is 10°. If the force of gravity parallel to the incline is 3 N, and the maximum force of static friction is 2.5 N, will the book slide? Show your calculations and explain your reasoning.”
