Question 405439: Calculate the force F needed to keep a 525Kg wagon stationary on an uphill slope with an incline angle of 15 degrees. (friction is zero, and g = 9.81)
I tried and found F=1332.98 Newtons. Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! That is correct. You have to overcome a force equal to the component of the weight that is parallel to the incline, equal to m*g*sin15 = 1332.98 N.
