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

China is seeking to lessen its dependence on coal by developing more hydropower resources. true or false?
rosijanka [135]
It is absolutely true that China is seeking to lessen its dependence on coal by developing more hydro power resources. The correct option among all the options given in the question is the first option. China is blessed with natural rivers and it is slowly trying to reduce its dependence on coal powered plants to hydro power plants. This is also a great step towards reducing air pollution.

The Canadian Shield refers to the exposed portion of the continental crust underlying North America. The crust, also known as the North American Craton, consists of rock from the Archean and Proterozoic eons and extends from Mexico to Greenland. The Canadian portion runs from central Ontario<span> north to the </span>Arctic Archipelago, and fromLabrador<span> west to the </span>Northwest Territories<span>. The Shield includes some of the oldest rocks on Earth (possibly more than 4 billion years old). While at times a barrier to settlement, the Shield has also yielded great resources, including </span>minerals<span>, </span>coniferous forests<span> and the capacity for</span>hydroelectric<span> developments.</span>
