So for this problem all I had to do was do 9.8sin26 degrees and multiply that by the mass?

Is it accelerating with gravity? Does I need to use the velocity to solve this problem?

Thanks for the replies, sorry about the acceleration and velocity confusion, I'm just really lost. If there is no net force, then how would I find the force needed to keep the tractor on a 26 degree incline? I have only learned about Net Force and Newton's Three Laws so far.

A farm tractor tows a 4300-kg trailer up a 26 Degree incline at a steady speed of 3.0 m/s. What force does the tractor exert on the trailer? (Ignore Friction). I've tried using 3.0 m/s as the acceleration, because I don't have enough information to derive the acceleration from the kinematics...
