Solution Summary
The solution finds the acceleration of the box, neglecting friction and air resistance. It also assists with drawing a free body diagram.
Solution Preview
For the first question, you must first draw a free body diagram very similar to this one:
http://physics.bu.edu/~duffy/semester1/c5_incline.html
The force which moves the box, in that diagram, is mgx. This force can be represented via trigonomic relationships with the force of gravity (mg) itself:
sin theta = mgx / mg
In our case, our ...
