Incline Plane

Incline Force

When you go down a ramp, you end up accelerating down the hill. Gravity is moving you at an angle.

Gravity On Incline Planes

use 2D Vector Components to change $F_g$ We need to convert this downwards vector into 2 vectors that are parallel & perpendicular to our box In this case, you can make conventions at an angle to make life easier to calculate.

Key Concepts

• $\overrightarrow{a}=g\sin \theta$
• $F_{Norm}=g\cos \theta$
• $0\le \theta \le 90$

$\mu$ Coefficient Of Friction

It is found that $\mu =\tan \theta$ Incline Plane Coefficient Of Friction Proof
