A particle of mass 0.5 kg is moving down a rough slope (with coefficient of friction = 0.2) inclined at 30 degrees to the horizontal. Find the acceleration of the particle. Use g = 9.8 ms^-2.

Resolving perpendicular to the plane : R - mg cos30 = 0 . Therefore, R = m g cos30 , where R is the reaction force perpendicular to the plane. Resolving down the plane : ma = m g sin30 - 0.2 R = m g sin30 - ...
