The discussion revolves around a physics problem related to force and weight, specifically calculating the weight of an individual and the force required to move that weight up a 70-degree incline. The subject area includes concepts of force, weight, and inclined planes.
The discussion is ongoing with participants confirming the weight calculation and exploring additional questions about forces on an incline and in horizontal motion. There is no explicit consensus yet on the subsequent calculations or interpretations.
Participants are working within the constraints of a homework assignment, which may limit the information available for solving the problem. The original poster's assumptions about the force and its direction are also under discussion.
b) calculate the mangitude and direction of the force that causes you to move in the horizontal direction.eigenglue said:470.4 N is the right weight. Now how much for does it take to push that weight up a 70 degree incline? I think that's the question.
