Homework Statement
A block of mass is held in equilibrium on an incline of angle 30 degrees by the horizontal force 500N. Determine the blocks's weight, ignore friction.
Homework Equations
F = MA
Normal Force y = Fg*sin(theta)
Normal Force x = Fg*cos(theta)
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm just wondering if this solution is correct. I'm worried because I think the angle is not the same for the horizontal force as the force of gravity pulling it downward.
