You can put this solution on YOUR website!
not sure why you included the mass in the calculation? __ there is no mention of friction...\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the acceleration along the incline is g*sin(a)
\n" ); document.write( "__ where a is the angle of inclination and g is the gravitational acceleration\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "using .6g as the acceleration will give you the proper result\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the rest of your work is fine \n" ); document.write( "
