Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 46SP
Having hauled it to the top of a tilted driveway, a child is holding a wagon from
rolling back down. The driveway is inclined at 20° to the horizontal. If the wagon
weighs 150 N, with what force must the child pull on the handle if the handle is
parallel to and pointing up the incline?
