A 2484 lb car is moving up a 12 degree incline as shown. If it took 7 s for the car to decelerate from 109 ft/s to 37ft/s, determine the magnitude (lb) of the braking force assuming that deceleration is constant and frictional effects are neglected. Round off only on the final answer expressed in 3 decimal places.
