A 10 kg box is placed on an inclined plane that makes an angle of 45° with the horizontal. The coefficient of friction between the box and the plane is 0.1. Calculate the acceleration of the box down the incline. Show all work. (Use g = 9.8 m/s²) A 25 kg block is on an inclined plane with an angle of 20° relative to the horizontal. If the coefficient of friction is 0.3, what is the acceleration of the block down the incline? Show all work. (Use g = 9.8 m/s²)
