Resolve a weight of 10N in two direction...

Resolve a weight of `10N` in two directions which are parallel and perpendicular to a slape inclined at `30^(@)` to the horizontal.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Component perpendicular to the plane
`w_|_ = w cos 30^(@)`
`= (10)sqrt(3)/(2)=5sqrt3N`
and component parrel to the plane
`w_(||) = w sin 30^(@) =(10)((1)/(2))=5N`
