- Homework Statement
- A block of mass M = 6.2 kg is placed on a frictionless inclined plane that makes an angle of 40.4 deg with respect to the horizontal. The block is held in place by a massless string.
magnitude of normal force; 46.2700 N
Enter the magnitude of the tension T in the string.
- Relevant Equations
- Normally the equation I use is T=MG but in this case it doesn't work and I think it might be because of the angle.
6.2(9.8)=60.8 (incorrect)
46.2cos40.4= 35.2 (incorrect)
46.2cos40.4= 35.2 (incorrect)
