A basket has a mass of 5.5 kg. Find the magnitude of the normal force if the basket is at rest on a ramp inclined above the horizontal at: --- a) 0 degrees (horizontal surface) b) 12 degrees c) 25 degrees d) 45 degrees --- Sorry, my brain isn't functioning right at the minute so I'll probably be asking stupid questions for the next hour...

hallo

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

ello sorry for the brain fart le mental database not working right now o n o;;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

domage. You should be able to come up with 1 equation for all of these. Drawz teh rampz.

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

/ahem/ Excuse me, let me rephrase that. My brain is fried from lack of sleep and complicated physics formulas (no lol they're pretty easy actually) --- Okeyz. I'll do ramp a) here.|dw:1383722030982:dw|

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

..Yeah, I have no idea how to do this. But I at least have a vague idea of the other three = n =;;

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I apologize, I suck at this stuff lawl, wish I could help

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

lol bring the tutor squad in xD It's okay. You good at precalc @Kfins99 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OMG that's not a ramp

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

It's a horizontal surface lols

OpenStudy (anonymous):

'>.>

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

They did ask me to draw free body diagrams in the question before this you know?

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Oh wait. You don't know XD Sorry~

OpenStudy (anonymous):

specifically no, but I empathize

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Wai- whut o.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1383722423946:dw| k, there's abasket with a sweet crosshatch

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Part a) A basket has a mass of 5.5 kg. Find the magnitude of the normal force if the basket sits at rest on a horizontal surface.

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

.-. Yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well make it a ramp first an then set theta to zero for a horixontal surface.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

two birds. one stone. in a basket.

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

... Good point. You got me

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Quick question - what's the relationship between m and W (aka Fg)?

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Someone on Y! Answers wrote the Fg (or W) = mg equation but I'm not sure if that works.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[W=\textrm{"weight" in a given gravitational field} =mg\]

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

I found that on the same Answers page...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (kittiwitti1):

Someone just asked me for help in math = n =;; Okay gotcha, brb gtg write it down
