Homework Statement
Use the Polygon of forces to demonstrate that the 200kg crate is in equilibrium on the slope
Homework Equations
F=ma
The Attempt at a Solution
I have attached a picture so you understand the problem a bit better.
I have worked out that the weight acting directly down is:
F=mg
F=200*9.81
F= 1962N
The Force acting back down the slope is:
Wx=W(weight) sin theta
Wx=1962 sin 25
Wx= 829.18N
What other forces are acting on the crate?
Thanks, Joe
