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:

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