A box of mass 14 kg sits on an inclined surface with an angle of 52degrees. What is the component of the weight of the box along the surface?

First, we calculate for the weight of the object by multiplying the given mass by the acceleration due to gravity which is equal to 9.8 m/s²

Weight = (14 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

Weight = 137.2 N

The component of the weight that is along the surface of the inclined plane is equal to this weight times the sine of the given angle.

Weight = (137.2 N) (sin 52°)

weight = 108.1 N
