1. Define the term "coefficient of friction" and explain what it represents.
2. Explain how the normal force is determined for an object resting on an inclined plane. How does the angle of the incline affect the normal force?
3. A 10 kg box is resting on an inclined plane with an angle of 25°. If the coefficient of friction between the box and the plane is 0.3, calculate the force of friction acting on the box.
