Final answer:
The force of friction on a frictionless ramp is zero.
Step-by-step explanation:
The force of friction on a ramp depends on the angle of the ramp and the coefficient of friction. In this case, the ramp is inclined at 17°. The force of friction can be calculated using the equation:
Force of Friction = Coefficient of Friction * Normal Force
Since the ramp is frictionless, the force of friction is zero.
Once you have the normal force, you can use it in the first equation to find the force of friction.
Keep in mind that if the force applied parallel to the incline is greater than the force of friction, the object will accelerate up the ramp. If it's less, the object may move down the ramp, and if they are equal, the object will move at a constant velocity (assuming no other forces are acting).
