Answer: Attached JPG

Step-by-step explanation:

FBD shows the forces acting on an object. If you where given no values (mass, acceleration, μ, etc...) then simply label the various vectors. Vectors show direction and magnitude as in how big the force is.

If you where given the mass you can find the weight and normal force (not inclined plane) by multiplying mass times gravity. Fg=Fn because its not moving in the y dimension (up and down).

If given acceleration and told no friction then the force applied would be mass times acceleration.

If given friction force you have to set up the equation m*a=Fa-Ff and then plug in variables.

It gets more complicated when you are given μ. To find these force then you have to set up the equation Ff=μFn. Plug in variables to find Ff, then set up previously listed equation.

Hope this helps
