1. Define the term "coefficient of friction" and explain how it affects the frictional force between two surfaces.
2. A box is placed on an inclined plane. List all the forces acting on the box and draw a free-body diagram representing these forces.
3. Explain why the normal force on an object on an inclined plane is not equal to the object's weight (mg). How is it calculated?
