TopicMotion on a slope

3 A box, of mass 3 kg , is placed on a rough slope inclined at an angle of \(40 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal. It is released from rest and slides down the slope.
  1. Draw a diagram to show the forces acting on the box.
  2. Find the magnitude of the normal reaction force acting on the box.
  3. The coefficient of friction between the box and the slope is 0.2 . Find the magnitude of the friction force acting on the box.
  4. Find the acceleration of the box.
  5. State an assumption that you have made about the forces acting on the box.
