96PRACTICE PROBLEM
A cylindrical container filled with chemicals is being transported on a conveyor in a factory. A segment of the conveyor has a length of 30 ft and is inclined at an angle of 9.2° with the horizontal. If the container weighs 173 lb, what force is required to hold it as it passes through the inclined segment?
