1. Explain in your own words why an object on an inclined plane experiences a component of gravity acting parallel to the plane (mg sin θ).
2. A block is at rest on an inclined plane. Draw a free body diagram showing all the forces acting on the block. Label each force.
3. How does the angle of the incline affect the magnitude of the component of gravity acting parallel to the plane (mg sin θ)? Explain.
