hey guys I am new here so i would first like to say thanks for reading my post. i got this question that I'm stumped on so please help me thank you!
A *12 kg crate is sliding at constant speed down a smooth platform that makes a 35. degree angle* with the horizontal.
Calculate the weight of the crate.
Calculate the component of the weight that is perpendicular to the platform.
Calculate the component of the weight that is parallel to the platform.
Calculate the coefficient of kinetic friction between the platform and the crate
thanks a lot i appreciate it

You will get plenty of help on these forums, but per forum rules, you have to first show your relevant equations and an attempt at a solution before anyone can provide assistance. The problem requires that you know how to calculate the magnitude and direction of the weight force of a given mass, and how to resolve the weight vector into its components perpendicular and parallel to the plane, and how to apply Newton's laws. Give it a try! ( No points off for incorrect answers or approach)
