m g sin(α)
m g cos(α)
m g tan(α)
m g
Understanding the Answer
Let's break down why this is correct
Gravity pulls straight down toward the center of the Earth. Other options are incorrect because Some people think the push from the surface, called the normal force, also pulls the block down the slope; The tangent function tells how steep a slope is, not how much force pulls the block down.

Deep Dive: Friction Forces Analysis
Master the fundamentals
Definition
Friction Forces Analysis involves examining the direction and magnitude of forces, such as gravitational and frictional forces, acting on objects in different scenarios. By understanding how these forces interact, we can determine if an object will accelerate, remain stationary, or move in a particular direction based on friction coefficients and external influences.
