Question

You place a box weighing 200.2 N on a inclined plane that makes a 37.1 angle with the horizontal. Compute the component of the gravitational force acting down on the inclined plane. Answer in Units of N

Answer 1

141.56 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given:

Weight of the box= 200.2 N

Angle with the horizontal= 37.1°

Solution;

Gravitational force on the box,
`F_g`= weight of the box

= 200.2 N

Component of gravitational force along plane =
`F_g * sin`( ∅ )

= W * (sin∅)

= (200.1) * sin (37.1°)

= 141.56 N
