Question:

A crate is sliding down a slope. The weight of the crate is 500 N. The slope makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal.
a. Draw a diagram to show the situation. Include arrows to represent the weight of the crate and the contact force of the slope acting on the crate.
b. Calculate the component of the weight down the slope.
c. Explain why the contact force of the slope has no component down the slope.
d. What third force might act to oppose the motion? In which direction would it act?
