Respuesta :

Answer:

141.56 N.

Explanation:

Data given:

Weight of the box= 200.2 N

Angle with the horizontal= 37.1°

Solution;

Gravitational force on the box, [tex]F_g[/tex]= weight of the box

                                                                           = 200.2 N

Component of gravitational force along plane = [tex]F_g * sin[/tex]( ∅ )

                                                                                   = W * (sin∅)

                                                                                   = (200.1) * sin (37.1°)

                                                                                   = 141.56 N
