Show that the acceleration of any object down a frictionless incline that makes an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal is $a=g \sin \theta .$ (Note that this acceleration is independent of mass.)

Consider an object on an incline where friction is present. The angle between the incline and horizontal is 0 and the coefficient of the kinetic friction is uk. Find an expression for the acceleration of this object. Treat down the incline as positive direction
