1. Explain in your own words why the force of static friction increases as the angle of an incline increases, up to a certain point.
2. A block is placed on an incline. Describe the conditions under which the block will remain stationary, and the conditions under which it will begin to slide.
3. Draw a free body diagram of a box on an inclined plane. Label all forces acting on the box, including the components of gravity.
