### Physics Problem: Forces on an Inclined Plane

#### Problem Statement:
A block is placed on an inclined plane that makes a 30° angle with the horizontal. The gravitational force acting on the block (F_grav) is 420 N. The coefficient of friction (μ) between the block and the inclined plane is 0.20.

#### Diagram:
- **Inclined Plane**: A plane inclined at a 30° angle to the horizontal.
- **Block**: A block on the inclined plane.
- **Forces**: 
  - **F_norm** (Normal Force): Perpendicular to the inclined plane.
  - **F_fric** (Frictional Force): Parallel to the inclined plane, opposing motion.
  - **F_grav** (Gravitational Force): Acting vertically downward.

#### Parameters to Determine:
- **m** (mass): __________ kg
- **a** (acceleration): __________ m/s²
- **ΣF** (net force): __________ N

#### Equations:
1. **Normal Force (F_norm)** = __________ N
2. **Frictional Force (F_fric)** = __________ N
3. **Mass (m)** = __________ kg
4. **Acceleration (a)** = __________ m/s²
5. **Net Force (ΣF)** = __________ N

Use the given values and equations of motion to solve for the unknowns.

> **Note**: 
> - The frictional force (F_fric) is given by: `F_fric = μ * F_norm`
> - The normal force (F_norm) can be determined using the component of gravitational force perpendicular to the inclined plane.
> - The net force (ΣF) can be determined by analyzing the forces parallel to the inclined plane.
> - The acceleration can be found using Newton's second law: `ΣF = m * a`
