Solution

failed
failed

Simplifying the expression for \( a \) by pulling out the common factor.

Identify the common factor

In the expression \( a = g \sin \theta - \mu_{k} g \cos \theta \), the common factor is \( g \).

Factor out the common factor

By factoring out \( g \), the expression becomes \( a = g(\sin \theta - \mu_{k} \cos \theta) \).

\(\boxed{a = g(\sin \theta - \mu_{k} \cos \theta)}\)

The simplified expression for \( a \) by pulling out the common factor is \(\boxed{a = g(\sin \theta - \mu_{k} \cos \theta)}\).
