As you may have guessed, trigonometry is not a strong point for me. I'm really struggling. From my basic understanding, opposite divided by adjacent = tan(θ) That is what I was working with. I also found an explanation that advised to combine, then simplify the equations: 1) N = mg cos(θ) 2)...

Thank you for the reply PeroK. I have calculated the answer to be 0.554. Not overly confident on it being correct. I divided sin(29) by cos(29). #clutchingatstraws :(
