Answer #1

As shown in figure, the acceleration along the incline is gsin theta where theta is the angle of incline

since no value for coefficient of friction is given hence we will assume no frictional force

hence gsin theta = 5 .86

taking g = 9.8

sin theta = 0.6

hence theta = 36.9 hence rounding off to nearest 10th we get theta = 40 degree
