Question

**Please Help! Picture included** Find the force vector w needed to make the component of the force parallel to the inclined plane equal to 2.16 lb. Write your answer in component form. (This force is in foot-pounds, not Newtons!)

Answer 1

I know I am going to need work = (|F|cos(theta) |D|)

Answer 2

if you want the magnitude that matches the slope of the ramp it needs to equal up to

<2.16 cos(15), 2.16 sin(15)>
