need help with this physics problem?

Brandon places a 5Ō kg crate on an inclined plane (as shown below). The coefficient of friction between

the crate and the inclined plane is 0.35. Find all forces acting on the crate and find the acceleration of the

crate. the incline is 25 degrees

    Motive force Fm = m*g*sin 25°

    normal force F = m*g*cos 25

    friction force Ff = F*μ = m*g*cos 25*μ

    Accelerating force Fa = Fm-Ff = m*g*(sin 25-cos 25*μ)

    acceleration a = Fa/m = m*g*(sin 25-cos 25*μ)/m = 9.806*0.1054 = 1.034 m/sec^2

    "As shown below", just Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V! HaHaHaHa!!!

    Anyways, The solution of this problem is x, where x can be any rational number. The answer will vary if their are apples in the crate

    Moreover, doesn't Brandon have anything else to do than sliding a crate?

    P.S. Waiting to be awarded with the best answer!
