Question

2. A 10 N object rests on a 10° incline. What is the normal force? What is the parallel force? A 10 kg object rests on a 10° incline. What are the normal and the parallel forces

Answer 1

For the normal component, multiply the weight by the cosine of the incline angle.

For the force parallel to the incline, multiply the weight by the sine of the incline angle.

For the sitation where you are given the mass (10 kg), you must multiply that mass by g to get the weight in Newtons.
