A 18-kg mass is placed on a 26° incline and friction keeps it from sliding. The coefficient of static friction in this case is 0.576 and the coefficient of sliding friction is 0.529. The mass is given a shove causing it to slide down the incline. Taking down the incline as positive, what is the acceleration of the mass while it is sliding?
