.
N = normal reaction force on block
W = weight of the block
theta = angle of the inclined plane to the horizontal
From the sketch, we can see that
N is equal in magnitude but opposite direction to Wy
N = Wy
And
Wy = Wcos(theta)
Wx = Wsin(theta)
Then,
N = Wy = Wcos(theta)
But W = mass × acceleration due to gravity = mg
N = Mgcos(theta)
Therefore, the Normal reaction force is equal to Mgcos(theta)
