I NEED HELP PLEASE THANKS!
Jenny is sitting on a sled on the side of a hill inclined at 15°. What force is required to keep the sled from sliding down the hill if the combined weight of Jenny and the sled is 90 pounds? (Show work)

Answer:

  23.29 lbs

Step-by-step explanation:

The force on Jenny due to gravity can be resolved into components perpendicular to the hillside and down the slope. The down-slope force is ...

  (90 lbs)sin(15°) ≈ 23.29 lbs

In order to keep Jenny in position, that force must be balanced by an up-slope force of the same magnitude.
