Chapter 5, Problem 67RCQ
The stone is at rest, interacting with both the surface of the incline and the block, (a) Identify all the forces that act on the stone, and draw appropriate force vectors, (b) Show that the net force on the stone is zero. (Hint 1: There are two normal forces on the stone. Hint2: Be sure the vectors you draw are for forces that act on the stone, not by the stone on the surfaces.)
