A body of mass 15kg is placed on a smooth plane which is inclined at 60° to the horizontal. If the box is at rest,

calculate the normal reaction to the plane. [ Take g = 10m/s\(^2\) ]

129.9N
75N
60.0N
7.5N

Explanation

Let  the normal reaction be R

R = Wcosø = mgcosø

= 15 * 10cos 60°

= 150 * 0.5000

= 75N
