I don't think that two of the forces are along the x and y axis. N is perpendicular to the hill which is 5 degrees to the left of vertical, W which is straight down the vertical and F of truck pulling the car is 10 degrees above horizontal.

i thought about using different coordinates, but only one of the forces will be on the axis because there are three forces with different angles with respect to the horizontal. I can't seem to get all of the y components to equal zero. The y component of the normal force I assume is the same...

A truck is towing a 1.00*10^3 kg car at a constant speed up a hill that makes an angle of 5degrees with respect to the horizontal. A rope (negligable) is attached to the truck at an angle of 10 degrees with respect to the horizontal. Neglect friction. What is the tension in the rope? I'm not...
