(20) 16. An object slides down an inclined plane as shown.
a) Draw a good, well-labeled free-body diagram. Include friction. Use parallel and perpendicular coordinates, and resolve any forces into components as needed. Show the components and their magnitudes.
b) Write the perpendicular (or y) force equation. Do not solve.
c) Write the parallel (or x) force equation. Do not solve.
Data NOT to be used before this point:
m = 27 kg
μ = 0.20
θ = 23°
d) Find the magnitude of the force of friction.
e) Find the acceleration.
