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

Resolve a weight of 10N in two directions which are parallel and perpendiular to a slope inclined at `30^@` to the horizontal.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Component perpendicular to the plane

`W_(1)=Wcos30^(@)`
` =(10)(sqrt(3))/(2)=5sqrt(3)N`
and component parallel to the plane
`W_(||)=Wsin30^(@)=(10)((1)/(2))=5N`
