You pull a crate of cashews by a rope up an inclined plane that
sits at an angle of 15 degrees above the horizontal; the crate
remains in contact with the plane as you pull it. The tension in
the rope is a constant 22N parallel to the inclined plane. There is
no friction between the crate and plane. The crate’s mass is 7 kg.
Explain all parts clearly.
a. Draw the free-body diagram.
b. Draw the coordinate axes so that the x-axis aligns with the
direction of motion of the crate.
c. What is the x-component of the crate’s acceleration?
d. What is the y-component of the crate’s acceleration?
