- Homework Statement
- A 150. kg box is dragged up a 4.00 m long ramp inclined at 20.0 degrees to the horizontal. You are told that the efficiency of the ramp is 55.0%
a) find the average force that is used to drag the box up the ramp.
- Relevant Equations
- W = (FacosX)(d)
%Eff. = Eout/Ein x 100%
I first wrote down that 55% = Eout/Ein
I also know that W = (Facos20)(4)
and I substitute it into the first equation
55% = Eout/[(Facos20)(4)]
But I'm missing two variables here. Did i forget something or is the question missing some information?
