The component of the weight force in the direction down the ramp is
F = M g sin 14.3
Set this equal to M a and solve for the acceleration, a. This works because there is no friction to consider.
Note that the mass M cancels out.
The length of the incline is information that is not needed.
o...the length of the incline is needed for the next question, which i need help with as well
it asks what is the the velocity at the bottom of the incline?
how would u figure this out? what formula would u use (if any)?
