Hardly anyone uses Megagrams for mass.
Mass of Car: 1500 kg
Weight = M*g = 14,700 N
Component parallel to incline
= 14,700 sin25
= 621 N
The coefficient of friction does not affect the answer, but does determine if the tires slip, and affects the acceleration.
A curve in a road is banked. There is a car on the curve. What is the component of its weight parallel to the incline? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of N
Mass of Car: 1.5Mg
coefficient of friction: 0.17
theta: 25 degrees
