1. Explain in your own words how the normal force on an object on an inclined plane relates to the force of gravity.
2. An object is resting on an inclined plane. What force must be overcome for the object to begin sliding down the plane?
3. A block of wood with a mass of 2 kg is placed on an inclined plane with an angle of 30°. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the plane is 0.4. Calculate the force of friction acting on the block.
