A particle P of mass 6 kg lies on the surface of a smooth plane. The plane is inclined at an angle of 30° to the horizontal. The particle is held in equilibrium by a force of magnitude 49*N, acting at an angle (x) to the plane. The force acts in a vertical plane through a line of greatest slope of the plane.
(a) Show that cos (x) = 3/5
There are other parts to this question, but I think Iwill manage to do them, it's the first part that I really cannot do for some reasons. Can anyone help???
I tried so many times and I could not go anywhere! How do I show that that's the angle??
Any hints will be immensely appreciated!!!!! Thank you!!
