The diagram shows the forces acting on a block on an inclined plane. The block is held in a stationary position by force `P`.
What is the correct equation for the normal force, `N` ?
- `N=W cos theta - P sin phi`
- `N=W cos theta + P sin phi`
- `N=W sin theta - P cos phi`
- `N=W sin theta + P cos phi`
Show Worked Solution
- `P\ sin phi` is the upward force on the block perpendicular to the plane.
- `Wcos\ theta` is the downward force on the block perpendicular to the plane.
- Therefore, `N` is equal to the downward component of the weight force minus the upwards component of force `P`.
`=>A`
