22. A particle of mass 40 kg is kept on a smooth plane inclined at an angle of 30 deg to the horizontal by a force up the plane. Find, correct to one decimal place, the magnitude of the normal reaction of the plane on the particle. [Take g=10 ms^-2].
- A. 146.0 N
- B. 200.6 N
- C. 346.4 NCorrect
- D. 400.3 N
Explanation
Normal reaction N = mg cos(theta) = 40(10)cos30 = 400 x 0.866 = 346.4N (see diagram).
