Answer:
3.90 degrees
Explanation:
Let g= 9.81 m/s2. The gravity of the 30kg grocery cart is
W = mg = 30*9.81 = 294.3 N
This gravity is split into 2 components on the ramp, 1 parallel and the other perpendicular to the ramp.
We can calculate the parallel one since it's the one that affects the force required to push up
F = WsinΘ
Since customer would not complain if the force is no more than 20N
F = 20
So the ramp cannot be larger than 3.9 degrees
