Answer:
The tension in the rope if it is parallel to the slope is 24.31 N.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the sled, m = 9 kg
angle of inclination of the slope, θ = 16⁰
The tension in the rope if it is parallel to the slope is calculated from the parallel component of the tension;
[tex]T_|_| = mgSin \theta\\\\T_|_| = 9 \times 9.8 \times sin(16^0)\\\\T_|_| = 24.31 \ N[/tex]
Therefore, the tension in the rope if it is parallel to the slope is 24.31 N.
