Analyze forces on an object resting on or sliding down an inclined plane. This calculator determines the gravitational components, normal force, and acceleration along the incline.
Enter your values below
Mass of the object on the incline
Angle of the incline with the horizontal
Set to 0 for frictionless surface
How this calculator works
Acceleration along the incline equals gravitational acceleration times the difference between sine of the angle and coefficient of kinetic friction times cosine of the angle.
