Answer:
(a) 104 N
(b) 52 N
Explanation:
Given Data
Angle of inclination of the ramp: 20°
F makes an angle of 30° with the ramp
The component of F parallel to the ramp is Fx = 90 N.
The component of F perpendicular to the ramp is Fy.
(a)
Let the +x-direction be up the incline and the +y-direction by the perpendicular to the surface of the incline.
Resolve F into its x-component from Pythagorean theorem:
Fx=Fcos30°
Solve for F:
F= Fx/cos30°
Substitute for Fx from given data:
Fx=90 N/cos30°
=104 N
(b) Resolve r into its y-component from Pythagorean theorem:
Fy = Fsin 30°
Substitute for F from part (a):
Fy = (104 N) (sin 30°)
= 52 N
