Problem

A 3 kg3\,\text{kg} block is released from rest on a rough plane inclined at 30∘30^{\circ} to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is 0.250.25. Take g=10 m s−2g = 10\,\text{m s}^{-2}. What is the acceleration of the block down the plane? (a) 3.8 m s−23.8\,\text{m s}^{-2} (b) 2.8 m s−22.8\,\text{m s}^{-2} (c) 5.0 m s−25.0\,\text{m s}^{-2} (d) 2.5 m s−22.5\,\text{m s}^{-2}
