Inclined Plane Friction Calculator

Calculate friction force opposing movement on ramp.

Calculated Solution
Parallel Force = 8.55 N | Accel = 0.85 m/s² | MA = 11.47

Step-by-Step Numerical Solution

1. Given Values:
  • Mass (m): 10 kg
  • Incline Angle (θ):
  • Friction Coeff (μ): 0
2. Required Parameter:Parallel Force (F_||), Normal Force (F_⊥), Acceleration (a), Mechanical Advantage (MA)
3. Governing Formula:F_|| = m g sin(θ) | F_⊥ = m g cos(θ) | a = (F_|| - F_f)/m | MA = 1 / sin(θ)
4. Variable Substitution:F_|| = 10 × 9.81 × sin(5°), F_⊥ = 10 × 9.81 × cos(5°)
5. Result & Interpretation:

On a 5° inclined plane, a 10 kg mass experiences 8.55 N down the ramp with acceleration 0.85 m/s².
