Expert Solution
Step 1 :Introduction

The force acting on the direction of motion is the horizontal component of gravitational force , which is , FGx=mgsinθ , where m=10 kg is the mass of the block ,g=9.8 m/s2 is the acceleration due to gravity and θ=15° is the angle of inclined plane .

 

According to Newton's second law ,the acceleration of the block is calculated by using the formula a=FGxm .
