A rough plane is inclined to the horizontal at angle α\alphaα, where tanα=34\displaystyle \tan \alpha = \frac{3}{4}tanα=43. A block of mass m m\,m kg is placed on the plane and released from rest. The coefficient of friction between the block and the plane is 12\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}21
A different block with mass 3m kg is placed on the same plane. Explain how the acceleration of this block would compare to the acceleration of the first block.
