A particle is placed on a smooth plane inclined at 35 degrees to the horizontal. the particle is kept in equilibrium by a horizontal force, of magnitude of 8 N, acting in the vertical plane containing the line of greatest slope of the inclined plane through the particle, Calculate, In N to one decimal place

(a) the weight of the particle
(b) the magnitude of the force exerted by the plane on the particle
