Question 33

A block of mass 2kg is at rest on a rough plane inclined at an angle of θ∘ \theta^\circ\,θ∘ to the horizontal where tan⁡θ=815\displaystyle \tan \theta = \frac{8}{15}tanθ=158​. The block is released from rest. The coefficient of friction between the block and the floor is 0.3.

Diagram for question 5: A block on an inclined plane at angle theta to the horizontal.

Find the acceleration of the block, giving your answer in exact form.
