Abox of mass 115 kg sits on an inclined surface with an angle of 59º. what
is the component of the weight of the box along the surface?

966 N

Explanation:

The component of the weight along the direction perpendicular to the plane is:

where

m is the mass of the box, g the acceleration of gravity, the angle of the inclined plane.

Similarly, the component of the weight of the box along the surface is

acting down along the incline.

Here we have:

m = 115 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

Substitting in the last equation, we find the component of the weight of the box along the surface:

what was the acceleration of the 2 kg cart?

⇒ 16.0 cm/s2

what was the acceleration of the 4 kg cart?

⇒ 8.1 cm/s2

what was the acceleration of the 6 kg cart?

⇒ 5.3 cm/s2

more than, less

less than, more
