The component of the normal force along the ramp has increased.

Net force on the hot tub

The net force on the hot tub is determined by applying Newton's second law of motion as follows;

∑F = 0 (the net force is zero because the tub did not move)

F - μFₙ = 0

where;

  • F is the applied force
  • μFâ‚™ is the frictional force or component of the normal force along the ramp

Thus, we can conclude that, the component of the normal force along the ramp has increased.
