Homework Statement
A 1010 kg car is held in place by a light cable on a very smooth (frictionless) ramp, as shown in the figure . The cable makes an angle of 31.0 degrees above the surface of the ramp, and the ramp itself rises at 25.0 degrees above the horizontal.
Draw a free-body diagram for the car.
Draw the force vectors with their tails at the front bumper of the car. The location and orientation of your vectors will be graded. The exact length of your vectors will not be graded.
The vectors used for the FBD are:
Fthrust - The thrust force
FN - The normal force
FT - The tension force
w - the weight
f - the force of friction
Homework Equations
F=ma
The Attempt at a Solution
So the two i am unsure about are the BLUE vectors (the tension and the thrust)
Can anyone help me with this please and let me know if any other vectors i drew are incorrect.
Thank you :)
