Concept explainers
Parallel and perpendicular component of cup’s weight.
Answer to Problem 34PP
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Angle of plane,
Mass of cup,
Formula Used:
The components are given as:
Where,
Calculation:
Consider the below diagram for the given condition,
Here,
Weight of book acting downward,
Angle of inclined plane with horizontal,
Angle of inclined plane with vertical,
The component of weight parallel to inclined plane will make angle
So, the component of weight perpendicular to inclined plane will make angle
Now,
The component of weight perpendicular to inclined plane will be,
And the component of weight parallel to inclined plane will be,
Conclusion:
Therefore, parallel and perpendicular components are
