I realize that an expression for g should be g = a/sin(theta) by looking at the angle that's formed perpendicular to the plane.
However, if I just look at angle theta in the bottom left corner, why am I not justified in saying g = sin(theta)*a, since to me it appears that the sine of angle...
Homework Statement
Hi, I just had a quick conceptual question.
I understand that if I have an object moving down a ramp, it is being accelerated only by gravity. My question is this:
We should be able to experimentally calculate g if we measure the acceleration down the ramp. Then we can...
