1. Define the term "coefficient of friction" and explain how it affects the force of friction between two surfaces.
2. Draw a free body diagram of a box sitting at rest on an inclined plane with friction. Label all forces acting on the box.
3. Explain how the angle of an inclined plane affects the component of gravitational force acting parallel to the plane (mg sin θ).
