Oh, I see. It is 9.8 m/s^2!

I'm not really sure what g is. Would I have to find for that? Should I find the gravity of earth?

Is it possible that it is W = m * a

Homework Statement A woman has a mass of 75.0kg. What is her weight on earth? Homework Equations Unknown. The Attempt at a Solution I've been looking in my textbook for some kind of equation or a conversion, but I cannot find it.

F = 28.5g / sin40 is that the net force? or do I have to figure out Fx and add F + Fx + Friction(with direction) to find F net

Is it possible for yourself to draw it because I'm having trouble visualizing it... If I add a weight vector, wouldn't it throw me off with the fx fy and f vectors...

Alright, I understand the equations, but how am I suppose to find the values now? What do you mean by include the weight of the wagon...? Is it another vector?

Fy/Sin40 = F

I understand this but the only thing is that F, Fy and Fx have no values.

Would it look like that? and I'm suppose to find Fx, Fy and F? I'm trying to figure out the net force and that includes friction I believe.

So there should be an arrow on the handle line. With that, which vector's magnitude am I suppose to figure out...? There are unknown sides to that triangle.

Would it look like this?
