There is a rough plane inclined at an angle θ to the horizontal where tan(θ)=12/5. Assume that μs = μk = 1.6. A rope applies a tension of 9 N to pull a 1.3 kg particle down the incline. What is the particle’s acceleration? Use g=10m/s/s.  (Side note: It will be helpful to draw the relevant free body diagram and to convert the decimal numbers to fractions.)
