Question

Part 1

A copper block with mass m = 100 g, is held at rest on a glass surface, where the
plane makes an angle q = 30° with the horizontal. The magnitude of the coefficient of kinetic friction, μK, between the copper block and the inclined glass plane is μK = 0.04. Calculate the acceleration of the copper block when
it is released from rest.

Part 2

The copper block slides down the plane, after being released. Work 
is done by the force of gravity, as the block slides down the plane. If the block slides 
24 cm, how much work is done?
