Magnitude of Force within incline?
A block with mass of 5.5kg is held in equilibrium on a frcitionless incline of 34 degrees by the horizontal force F. The acceleration of gravity is 9.81m/s^2
What is the magnitude of F? answer in units of N
What is the magnitude of the normal force? answer in units of N
I converted 5.5 kg to 53.9N
then i used sin of 56 degrees * 53.9 to get the horizontal force of 44.68N
then i used cos of 56 degrees * 53.9 to get the normal force of 30.14N
however both answers were incorrect
