Concept explainers
To find: the magnitude acceleration for the object by using the given information.
Answer to Problem 22E
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Weight of an object = 25 pounds
Angle of inclination with ground =
There is no friction.
Calculation:
The force must be at least greater as the component of the weight of the object in the direction of the ramp. The sketch for the given situation is as follows:
The magnitude of the acceleration can be evaluated as shown below.
Thus the magnitude of acceleration is 20.16 feet per square second.
