Question

A 5.00 kg crate is on a 21.0 degree hill. Using X-Y axes tilted down the plane, what is the y-component of the normal force?

Answer 1

Answer:

The y-component of the normal force is 45.74 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the crate, m = 5 kg

Angle with hill, $\theta=21^{\circ}$

We need to find the y component of the normal force. We know that the y component of the normal force is given by :

$F_y=F\ \cos\theta\\\\F_y=mg\ \cos\theta\\\\F_y=5\times 9.8\ \cos(21)\\\\F_y=45.74\ N$

So, the y-component of the normal force is 45.74 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
