1Friction on an Inclined Plane with an Oblique Push
A 2.0 kg block sits on a rough plane inclined at 30° to the horizontal. The coefficients of friction between block and plane are μs = 0.60 and μk = 0.50.

In a 2.00 L rigid flask held at 400 K, 1.00 mol of A(g) and 1.00 mol of B(g) are mixed with 0.50 mol of C(g). The only reaction is A(g) + B(g) ⇌ 2C(g), for which Kc = 4.00 at this temperature.

A right circular cone has base radius R = 6.0 cm and height H = 12.0 cm. A cylinder is inscribed in it: the cylinder's axis coincides with the cone's axis, its lower base lies in the cone's base plane, and its upper rim touches the cone's curved surface.
