The discussion focuses on calculating weight and the force required to move up a 70-degree incline. The weight of a mass of 48 kg is calculated using the formula w = mg, resulting in a weight of 470.4 N. The user confirms this calculation is correct and seeks further assistance on determining the force needed to push this weight up the incline. The problem also includes a request for the magnitude and direction of the horizontal force required for movement.
PREREQUISITESStudents studying physics, particularly those focusing on mechanics and force calculations, as well as educators seeking to clarify concepts related to weight and inclined planes.
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.
