The frictional force is 218.6 N
Explanation:
The block in the problem is at rest along the inclined surface: this means that the net force acting along the direction parallel to the incline must be zero.
There are two forces acting along this direction:
- The component of the weight parallel to the incline, downward along the plane, of magnitude
where
m = 46 kg is the mass
is the acceleration of gravity
is the angle of the incline
- The (static) frictional force, acting upward, of magnitude
Since the block is in equilibrium, we can write
And substituting, we find the force of friction:
