An object of mass 2kg is placed on a smooth plane which is inclined at an angle of 30 degrees from the ground. Calculate the acceleration of the object.

Draw a free body force diagram of all the forces acting on the object.

Resolve the forces parallel and perpendicular to the plane.

Use the equation ΣF=ma to solve the acceleration.
