OpenStudy (anonymous):

do i used cos or sin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

618

OpenStudy (anonymous):

work = change in potential energy (591) (L) = (m g) H L is ramp length, (m g) weight), H ramp height H = L sin (17) (m g) = weight = 591 L / L sin(17) = 591 / .292 = 2021 lb Figures to weigh a lot more than 591 lb, as this is a gently sloping plane, thus much "mechanical advantage." Assumes no friction, by the way.

so the answer is 2021

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey u their sir

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u their

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 618

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

eed help here plz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plz

2021 makes more sense than just 618, which is not much different from the force being used (591) on this gradual inclined lane.
