1. Draw a free body diagram showing all the forces acting on a block of mass *m* sitting at rest on an inclined plane with friction. Label each force.
2. Explain how the angle of an inclined plane affects the component of gravitational force acting parallel to the plane (mg sin θ).
3. A box is placed on an inclined plane with a coefficient of static friction μₛ. What condition must be met for the box to remain at rest? Explain your reasoning.
