Information you have:
m=23kg
Fg(1)=185N
Using the Fg=mg, you can figure out the force exerted on the suitcase by gravity if there was no force pulling it:
Fg=mg
Fg=(23kg)(8=9.81m/s^2)
Fg=225.63N
Fg-Fg(1)=F experienced by handle
225.63N-185N=40.63N
A 23 kg suitcase is being pulled by a handle that is at an angle of 22 degrees above the horizontal. If the normal force exerted on the suitcase is 185 N, what is the force applied to the handle?
*** Objects NOT on an incline they are being pushed/pulled at an angle along a horizontal surface.
