Remember that they don’t shove Calculus in every problem. You might even see questions that don’t require Calculus more often than those that don’t. Here is a common example:

The picture below shows a rope pulling on a box on a ramp at an angle.
a) Draw a force diagram.
b) Solve for normal force in terms of Ft, theta, g, and m
c) Solve for acceleration in terms of Ft, theta, g, m, and kinetic friction.
