A mouse with mass mm 200 g sits on a wedge shaped block with mass m 850 g and inclination angle 0 40 The block rests on a spring scale as seen in the diagram below The top of the block is a frictionless surface and the mouse slides down the block freely Friction between the block and the spring scale is large enough such that the block does not slip on the scale a Draw a free body diagram for both mm and m Clearly label all relevant forces as well as your coordinate system choice Indicate if any forces make Newton s 3rd Law pairs b Write out Newton s Second Law for each relevant direction in your coor dinate system c What does the spring scale read in Newtons as the mouse slides down the block
