Glara wants to weigh a heavy box, however her Newton Scale only measures up to 100N, which is less than the weight of the box. She has the brilliant idea of placing the box on ramp, inclined at 40°. She measures force exerted parallel to the ramp to be 80N. Determine the weight of the box in Newtons. (Ignore friction!) 80N Text 40°
