Homework Statement
a Mess of 5kg is being hauled up a smooth invlined place at 30 degree to the horizontal with an acceleration of 1.5ms^-2 by mean of a string parallel to the incline:
a) What is tension in the string
Homework Equations
Fnet= ma
Rules of right angled triangles (SOC CAH TOA)
Any more?
The Attempt at a Solution
a)
=>Fnet = ma
Fnet = 5*1.6
Fnet = 8ms^-2
=>cos(theta)= O / H
cos60= O / 8
Tension = 16N = Wrong!
Answer = 32.5 N - How??
