Question Problem: A block of mass 2.0 kg is placed on a smooth plane, inclined to the horizontal at an angle of 15°. The force of gravity, acting straight down on the block, is 20N. a) What is the acceleration of the block down the plane? b) How far up the plane was the block released, if it took 1.5 s to reach the bottom after it was released from rest?

Question

Your work must be clear to read. Clearly label all cases (a, b). Show all steps in GRASS format.
GRASS means given/required/analysis/solution/statement. You can type your solutions and answers,
but neat handwriting is perfectly acceptable. Please submit your assignment as ONE PDF file on
D2L. I do not accept any assignments via email after the due date.
