1. Define the force of friction and explain how it opposes motion on an inclined plane.
2. Explain how the normal force is calculated for an object on an inclined plane when an additional force is applied to the object at an angle.
3. A block of mass 𝑚 is resting on an inclined plane with an angle of θ. If the coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is μₛ, derive an expression for the maximum angle θ at which the block will remain at rest.
