Completely stuck on this question:

You could resolve the forces parallel to the plane
Original post by r_g1452
I got 15g sin 30 for the lower part of the plane
Edit - another similar way is to note you could add the weight and P together tip to tail and the resultant must be perpendicular to the plane which gives a right triangle.

You mean 15g/2 acts down the plane? So P must provide an equal and opposite force up the plane for equilibrium.
Original post by r_g1452
So would P sin 30 equal 15g cos 30?

I got 15g cos 30 down the plane?

15gsin(30) = 73.5/cos(30) = 84.87N = P ?

agree with the answer, but be careful how you write it down.
Original post by r_g1452
2 significant figures?
73 = 84
I know what you mean, but its not correct mathematically.

No, youve written something like
73 = 84
I know what you mean, but its not correct mathematically.
73 = 84
