Answer:

W = 285.62 N

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of Jessica is 55 kg

Slope of the hill is 32 degrees

We need to find the component of her weight that is along her direction of motion.

The component along her direction of motion is shown in attached figure. It means


W_y=mg\sin\theta\\\\W_y=55* 9.8* \sin(32)\\\\W_y=285.62\ N

So, the component of her weight that is along her direction of motion is 285.62 N.
