A 10 kg box is stationary on an incline but it is just about to slide down. It is held by a string parallel to the incline, What should be the tension on the string (N) if the plane is inclined at 30 degrees? The coefficient of static friction is 0.4 and the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.1.

You want to use a rope to pull a 10-kg box of books up a plane inclined 30∘ above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.30. The rope pulls parallel to the incline. What force do you need to exert on the rope if you want to pull the box with a constant acceleration of 0.50 m/s2 up the plane?

A 3.5-kg object placed on an inclined plane (angle 30 above the horizontal) is connected by a string going over a pulley to a 1.0-kg object. Determine the acceleration of the system if the coefficient of static friction between object 1 and the surface of the inclined plane is 0.30 and equals the coefficient of kinetic friction.
You want to use a rope to pull a $10-\mathrm{kg}$ box of books up a plane inclined $30^{\circ}$ above the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.30 . What force do you need to exert on the other end of the rope if you want to pull the box (a) at constant speed and (b) with a constant acceleration of $0.50 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ up the plane? The rope pulls parallel to the incline.
