Final 5 - Trolley

Given:

• $\mbox{A 1,000 kg trollley on a slope of 10 degrees.} $

Question:

• $\mbox{What force is needed to cause the trolley remain stationary ?} $

Rationale:

• $ F_{parallel} = m g \sin\alpha $

Calculate:

• $ F_{parallel} = (1000) (10) \sin{10_{circ}} = (1000) (10) (.173648) $
• $ F_{parallel} = 1,736.48 \; \approx \; 1,736.5 $
