A 50-newton box is placed on an inclined plane that makes a 30° angle with the horizontal. Calculate the component of gravitatio
nal force that acts down the inclined plane. A. 25 N B. 37 N C. 43 N D. 56 N
2 answers:
Weight of the box = 50 Newtons
In the diagram attached,
The gravitational force is broken into two components.
The component of the gravitational force that acts along the inclined plane is 50 SinФ.
Ф = 30°
Sin 30° = 0.5
Gravitational force down the inclined plane = 50 Sin 30°
= 50 × 0.5
Gravitational force down the inclined plane = 25 Newtons or 25 N
Hence, the option A is correct.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to wavelength depending on the frequency and speed. Mathematically, the wavelength can be expressed as
Where,
v = Velocity
f = Frequency,
Our values are given as
L = 3.6m
v= 192m/s
f= 320Hz
Replacing we have that
The total number of 'wavelengths' that will be in the string will be subject to the total length over the size of each of these undulations, that is,
Therefore the number of wavelengths of the wave fit on the string is 6.
