3. Classic incline problem: Find the acceleration of a 1500 kg Nissan LEAF skidding down an icy hill inclined at an angle = 12o, if µk = 0.15 . θ Step 1: Step 2: Note that you will need to find FN to finish Step 2. Can you see that FN = mg cos Substitute this θ? expression for FN back into your equation… Step 3: Solve for a in terms of µk, g and θ. Lastly, solve for numerically. a
