Physics

To find the net force acting on the crate, we will consider the forces involved: the applied force, the frictional force, and the gravitational force acting down the incline.

 

1. Weight of the crate (): 

 

2. Components of the weight: 

Parallel to the incline: 

 

Perpendicular to the incline: 

 

3. Frictional force (): 

The frictional force can be calculated using the coefficient of kinetic friction ():
