Answer:
734.215N
Explanation:
First we calculate the angle that corresponds to a 5% slope using the Tan-1 function
then we use the component that corresponds to the direction parallel to the road, additionally we must multiply by the gravity value to find the weight(g=9.81m/s^2)
Wx=M*g*sen(2.86)=1500kg*9.81*sen(2.86)=734.215N
<u>Answer</u>
The combined displacement is 2km north
<u>Explanation</u>
Since displacement is a vector quantity, we take into account the direction.
Good for us all the displacement vectors are in the same dimension, so we can make north positive and south negative or vice-versa.
We now add to obtain,
This will simplify to
Therefore the combined displacement is 2km north
