I can't figure it out :/

component y = -9.7? Component x = Force of friction ? That is the only force acting in the x direction isn't it?

- Frictional Force, Moving towards the left - Force applied going [E 10 N] - Force of Gravity Down - Force of Normal Up Since it says gently, I assume it is moving at a constant velocity? or close to? What is the next step after Force of gravity? Thanks for replying Chet

school in Calgary :P

ah alright, so prof musta made a mistake. Thanks, Got an exam tommorow though :P hope he doesn't put this question on it

:/ Are you sure lol? I am pretty sure he prof wouldn't give a question that's not solveable

it does not..thats my problem :S

so...fa=65.4(0)...?

f=ma I have mass but not acceleration? How would i calculate it?

Homework Statement A cavewoman is dragging her 65.4 kg mate home, up a gentle 10° incline. The co efficient of friction for skin on oil is 0.40. What is the minimum applied force she needs to keep the neanderthal moving with uniform motion? Homework Equations ff=μFn fg=mg fnet=ma The...
