Problem
A 4kg block is placed on a 30∘ rough incline where the coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the plane is 0.10. Take g=9.8m s−2.
(a) Sketch the free-body diagram of the block, showing clearly the components of its weight.
(b) Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the block down the incline.
