Block 1 (10 kg) is pulled by a rope from left to right up a ramp which is inclined 50 degrees from the horizontal. The rope pulls on block 1 with a force of 180 N parallel to the surface of the inclined plane. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface equals 0.7. (use g = 10 m/s2) On a sheet of paper, draw the free body diagram for block 1 using the two-subscript notation from class. Assume that the x-axis is parallel to the incline and positive in the direction up the incline. After completing the free body diagram, enter below each force and its x & y-components.
