A carton of mass 5kg is at rest on an inclined plane making an angle of 15 degrees with the horizontal.What is the frictional force and the normal force acting on the carton?
Added by Manjella M.
Step 1
The weight (W) can be calculated using the formula W = m*g, where m is the mass and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Given that the mass (m) is 5kg and the acceleration due to gravity (g) is approximately 9.8 m/s^2, the weight of the carton is W = 5kg * 9.8 Show more…
