Part 1: A 25 kg box sits on a 20 degree incline ramp.
a) Calculate the parallel and perpendicular components of gravitational force acting on the box.
Part 2:
b) Starting with the simpler diagram, draw vectors representing all of the forces acting on the box.
Part 3:
c) The ramp has a 5 m height. If the box starts from the top at rest, what is its final velocity at the bottom after sliding down?
