Identify all forces: draw a free body diagram.
Break forces into parallel and perpendicular components.
Ffriction≤μsFnormalF_{friction} \leq \mu_s F_{normal}Ffriction≤μsFnormal when preventing motion.
Ffriction=μkFnormalF_{friction} = μ_k F_{normal}Ffriction=μkFnormal when object is moving.
Apply Newton's second law: F=maF = maF=ma.
Gravitational force component along the slope.
