Vertical Equilibrium & The Normal Force
6. Intro to Forces (Dynamics) / Vertical Equilibrium & The Normal Force / Problem 3

Consider a 950-kg truck kept stationary by a light rope on a frictionless slope as shown in the figure. The rope forms an angle of 28° with the slope's surface, and the slope is angled at 20.0° relative to the horizontal. Determine the magnitude of the normal force exerted by the slope on the truck.
