A 22-pound force that makes an angle of 12° with an inclined plane is pulling a box up the plane. The inclined plane makes a 25° angle with the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the effective force pulling the box up the plane?

Respuesta :

We will ave that the effective force is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} F=(22Lb)cos(12)\Rightarrow F=21.51924722...Lb \\ \\ \Rightarrow F\approx21.52Lb \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, the effective force is 21.52 Pounds.
