1. List the forces acting on an object resting on an inclined plane with friction. For each force, briefly describe its direction.
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 block is placed on an inclined plane. The angle of the incline is gradually increased. Describe what happens to the normal force as the angle increases. Explain why this happens.
