Inclined Plane

Today, four groups answered the questions on page 196, 1 number per group. But only number 3 was solved on the white board. (Second image)
Ms. K also gave an example of a diagram about Forces acting on an inclined plane. (Third image)
We also answered the questions on page 18 of the booklet for Dynamics Unit. The answers are on the back of the booklet.








**We will do Lab experiment about inclined plane tomorrow

(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.



**If you're given the mass of the object, solve first for the weight.
**Draw your triangle with its corresponding angles, then solve for the unknown side which is Ft(tensional force) in this case. Solve it by using trigonometric identies.
