A block slides down a frictionless plane having an inclination of 14.6°.

If the block starts from rest at the top and the length of this incline is 1.90 m, find the acceleration of the block.

can someone just help me out with the equation I should be using? i really want to understand it, but alas, i don't

The force of gravity directed down the plane is mgSinTheta

forcedownplane= mass*accelerationdownplane

solve for acceleration
