Question

you place a box weigthing 362 N on a inclunded plane that makes a 37.8 angel with a hirizontal. compute the componest of gravitational force acting down the inclined plane.

Answer 1

W = 221.872 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight of a box, F = 362 N

It makes an angle of 37.8 degrees with the horizontal.

We need to find the gravitational force acting down the inclined plane. The component of weight that is acting down the inclined plane is mgsinθ.

W = mgsinθ

= 362× sin(37.8)

= 221.87 N

So, the required component of gravitational force is 221.87 N.
