Five choices I made up: **a.**![enter image description here][1] **b.**![enter image description here][2] **c.**![enter image description here][3] **d.**![enter image description here][4] **e.**![enter image description here][5] One thing I know immediately is that the vectors have to cancel each other at last so there is no net force acting on it. **a.** certainly qualifies. **b.** doesn't. If the components of the vertical arrow leave the object sliding down the incline. **c.** has two vector forces directed down the incline, but only of which is is cancelled. ##d. is tricky. There is a unbalanced force going into the plane. But that vector won't change the fact that the object is at rest. One would automatically realized there is a normal force preventing the object from falling into the plane. **e** is basically the same as **c**, except that the normal force isn't drawn. ______ If the cause of my confusion still isn't clear to you, it is that I can't settle between choices **a** and **d**, due to the lack of the normal force in **d**.
