Accelerating Along a Plane

In the x y z xyz coordinate system, a massive particle is confined to the plane described by the equation below:

x + 2 y + 3 z = 0 x + 2y +3 z = 0

The particle can slide along the plane without any resistance to its motion (such as friction). There is an ambient gravitational field such that a free particle would experience an acceleration in the z z -direction with a value of g -g .

If the magnitude of the confined particle's acceleration is equal to α g \alpha g , what is the value of α \alpha (to 3 decimal places)?


The answer is 0.598.
