The free body diagram consists of:

1) Weight force, which is a vertical arrow downward

2) A Normal force that is perpendicular to the ramp.

The Normal force can be decomposed in a vertical component and an horizontal component.

The vertical component, Ny,  must equal the weight force, due to equilibrium (rest) condiition =>

Ny = weight = m*g = 5.5kg*9.8m/s^2 = 53.9 N

By geometry the vertical component of the Normal force, Ny is such that

cos (angle) = N / Ny => N = Ny * cos(angle)

=> N = 53.9N * cos(angle)

Now use that equation for each option:

a) 0 ° => N = 53.9N * cos(0) = 53.9N

b) 12° => N = 53.9 * cos(12) = 52.7N

c) 25° => N = 53.9 * cos(25) = 48.9N

d) 45° => N = 53.9 * cos(45) = 38.1N

One criticism of the ecological footprint methodology is that it ignores human population growth. If this criticism is correct,
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

a. There is no cause for concern because human population growth is not correlated with the global ecological footprint

Explanation:

The global ecological footprint needs to use as precise methodology as possible. The reason why it has to have very prices methodology is so that the data is the best possible, and once the data is presenting the reality, than the problem can be addressed adequately and a proper and an efficient solution can be constructed. By ignoring the growth of the human population, the methodology practically suggests that the human are not related to the global ecological footprint, which is not true. The human population is actually the one that has the biggest ecological footprint, so the changes in the population always have to be taken in consideration, as without it there can not be a proper response because of the false data.
