Answer:
a.
Explanation:
The equation of the forces along the directions parallel and perpendicular to the slope are:
- Along the parallel direction:
where :
m = 6.0 kg is the mass of the box
g = 9.8 m/s^2 the acceleration of gravity
is the angle of the slope
is the coefficient of friction
R is the normal reaction
a is the acceleration
- Along the perpendicular direction:
From the 2nd equation, we get an expression for the reaction force:
And substituting into the 1st equation, we can find the acceleration:
Solving for a,
