The value of angle
Answer to Problem 36PP
The value of
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Consider the plane is inclined at an angle
The mass of the suitcase is denoted by
Consider the acceleration due to gravity of the Earth is
The component of the suitcase’s weight parallel to the plane is equal to half the component of suitcase’s weight perpendicular to the plane.
Formula used:
Consider a force
The magnitude of horizontal component of the force
The magnitude of vertical component of the force
Calculation:
The free body diagram of the situation is shown below.
The parallel component of the suitcase’s weight is denoted by
The perpendicular component of suitcase’s weight is denoted by
The component of the suitcase’s weight parallel to the plane is,
The component of the suitcase’s weight perpendicular to the plane is,
The suitcase’s weight parallel component is one-half the perpendicular component.
Conclusion:
Thus, the value of
