1. Make a sketch of a friction block sliding down the inclined track. Draw and label vectors to indicate the direction of the velocity and the direction of the acceleration. Also assign a symbol to the mass of the block and label it on the drawing. 2. Draw a free-body diagram of the forces on the block as it slides down the ramp. Draw the acceleration vector for the block near the free-body diagram. Choose a coordinate system, and draw the force vectors on your coordinate system (a force diagram).
