Homework Statement
An object is suspended on a frictionless slope inclined plane by a rope parallel to the incline. If the angle of the incline is 25° and the tension on the rope is 5000 N, what is the weight of the object
Homework Equations
∑F=0
The Attempt at a Solution
So in my eyes, you would want to find the vertical component of the tension of the rope, which is counteracted by the weight of the object. Getting the y-component you would do 5000sin25 to get 2113 N. So shouldn't the weight of the be 2113 N, since ∑Fy=0?
