a ) draw the normal (perpendicular to the plane )
the weight (downward )
the PN force which is already given


b) i) first find the value of the angle
Tan A =3/4 >>>> A = 36.8
now there is 2 ways .. i guess whats easier is to resolve the normal force vertically and horizontally (since the for PN acting horizontally & the weight Vertically downward )
and as we know Normal force = MF ( M stands for the coefficient of friction ) (F > force )
resolving Vertically >>>>> weight =normal force , since its in equilibrium
so MF cos 36.8 = 1.1g ................................ now this 36.8 is found by a rule , i will try and explain it if you have trouble in it just let me know !
0.5Fcos36.8 = 1.1g
F = 26.93 N

ii ) here you will resolve the normal force too but this time horizontally !
MFsin36.8 =P
0.5(26.93)(sin36.8) = P
& find it !


thats all !

hiya! thnx 4 the help but the answer as in the marking scheme for F is 9.8 N and not 26.93 N? but thnx 4 trying
