Forces in Equilibrium (horizontal) on an incline?

2018-03-03 1:20 am
So, I understand that there is a force acting on the plane, vertically down from the 8kg weight; which is 8g.

I also then know that the force acting perpendicular to the weight is 8gsin30 and the force acting against the friction is 8gcos30.

However, my paper says that Pcos30 = F + 8sin30...

I would understand if it said P = F + 8sin30, but where does the Pcos30 come from?

P would equal F + 8sin(30) if the force of P was parallel to F...but its not but rather Pcos(30)

The weight of the block has a component that is parallel and perpendicular to the plane.

Weight = 8 * 9.8 = 78.4 N
Parallel = 78.4 * sin 30 = 39.2 N
Perpendicular = 78.4 * cos 30

The force P has a component that is parallel and perpendicular to the plane.
Parallel = P * cos 30
Perpendicular = P * sin 30

Since we do not have a coefficient of friction, we can assume that there is no friction. To prevent the block from accelerating, the sum of the parallel components must be 0 N

Net force parallel = 39.2 – P * cos 30
39.2 – P * cos 30 = 0
P = 39.2 ÷ cos 30
This is approximately 45 N. I hope this is helpful for you.

Forces in equilibrium so no friction applies as the box does not move (unless forces unbalance and overcome static friction)

box = 8g sin 30 (gravity along plane to left)
F1 = P cos 30 (along plane to right)
F2 = F (along plane to left

P cos 30 = 8g sin 30 + F

Vertically (perpendicular to plane)

N (normal from incline) = P sin 30 + 8g cos 30
