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

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

Answer :

Answer:

141.56 N.

Explanation:

Data given:

Weight of the box= 200.2 N

Angle with the horizontal= 37.1°

Solution;

Gravitational force on the box, [tex]F_g[/tex]= weight of the box

= 200.2 N

Component of gravitational force along plane = [tex]F_g * sin[/tex]( ∅ )

= W * (sin∅)

= (200.1) * sin (37.1°)

= 141.56 N
