(continuation) static equilibrium problems

Today, we read lessons regarding frictional force, normal force and inclined planes from the textbook. There's an assignment on p. 196 numbers 1-4. Ms. K said that the we will a do lab on Tuesday about inclined planes.
We also answered the static equilibrium problems # 3-5.
