In the first diagram, I used this to set up for finding the magnitude of w1 by taking the projection of F onto v.
Between the two diagrams, is w1 and AC equivalent? I thought that vectors need to have the same magnitude and direction to be equivalent.
Have I set this up correctly?
In my pre-calculus textbook, the problem states:
A 200-pound cart sits on a ramp inclined at 30 degrees. What force is required to keep the cart from rolling down the ramp?
The gravitational force can be represented by the vector F=0i-200j
In order to find the force we need to project vector...
