You place a box weighing 253.1 N on an inclined plane that makes a 39.7◦ angle with the horizontal.
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
The weight of the box is
W = 253.1N
Weight is on an incline plane
θ = 39.7°
The weight of an object is always acting downward
So, the weight makes an angle of 39.7° with the vertical component
Then, it's horizontal component is
Wx = W•Sinθ
Wx = 253.1 × Sin 39.7°
Wx = 161.67 N
The horizontal component of the weight is 161.67N
This is the force acting down the plane.

Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
According to the question:
Force exerted by the team towards south, F = 10 N
Force exerted by the opposite team towards North, F' = 17 N
Net Force,
Thus the force will be along the direction of force whose magnitude is higher
Therefore,
towards North
