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).
