Hmm, I see. So dealing with symbols until the very last moment is more efficient as it helps us check the steps one by one. We lose that benefit when we replace them with numbers right away. Something I'll keep in mind. Thank you for the help!

From closer inspection I think I got it! Instead of equating Ffk with Gy*k I equaled it with G*k, so: m*g*cos(60)*k+m*g*sin(60)=m*(-a)

What makes the problem a bit disturbing for me is that so far for the Ox axis I have only put Gx and Ffk as the only forces acting on the body. Perhaps I need to add another force vector on the opposite side showing that something is pushing the body up?

Homework Statement The only given data is that the incline is 60 degrees steep. I also presumed that there is friction. I made an attempt to solve the problem and would like to know if it is correct. Homework Equations Fnet=m*a Ffk-kinetic friction force k-friction coefficient The Attempt at...
