We can solve the problem by applying Newton's second law, which states that the resultant of the forces acting on an object is equal to the product between its mass and its acceleration:
We should consider two different directions: the direction perpendicular to the inclined plane and the direction parallel to it. Let's write the equations of the forces along the two directions, decomposing the weight of the object (mg):
(parallel direction) (1)
(perpendicular direction) (2)
where
is the angle of the inclined plane, N is the normal reaction of the plane, 
is the frictional force, with 
being the coefficient of friction.
From eq.(2), we find
and if we substitute into eq.(1), we can find the acceleration of the block:
from which
