Substitute the values: \( s = 0 \times 10 + \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 10^2 \).
Calculate \( \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 100 = 150 \).
#### 150 meters
The component of gravitational force along the incline is \( mg \sin(\theta) \).
Mass \( m = 10 \, \text{kg} \), gravitational acceleration \( g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \), angle \( \theta = 30^\circ \).
Gravitational force component: \( 10 \times 9.8 \times \sin(30^\circ) = 98 \times 0.5 = 49 \, \text{N} \).
