Unfortunately, I'm totally lost on this question. I read the topic in the archive, and I know I can't ask for an answer to this, and frankly I don't want one. But is someone able to give me the process for doing this?
A cart loaded with bricks has a total mass
of 24.3 kg and is pulled at constant speed by
a rope. The rope is inclined at 25.6 degrees above
the horizontal and the cart moves 16.4 m on
a horizontal floor. The coefficient of kinetic
friction between ground and cart is 0.6 .
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s^2 .
What is the normal force exerted on the
cart by the floor? Answer in units of N
I'm not sure I'm assuming I would need FG=mg, but after that, I'm lost. It seems like no matter what equation I use, I'm missing a variable.
Again, I apologize, but I have no clue how to begin solving for this. My guess is to solve for the force applied somehow, but I have no idea how to.
