1. Explain the components of the forces acting on an object placed on an inclined plane. Include the roles of gravitational force, normal force, and friction.
2. A 30 kg mass is placed on an incline that makes an angle of 45° with the horizontal. Calculate the parallel and perpendicular components of the gravitational force acting on the mass.
3. If the coefficient of static friction between the mass and the incline is 0.3, determine the maximum static friction force that can act on the mass before it starts to slide down the incline.
