static on inclined planes
a mass of 46 kg rests on an smooth inclined plane at 38 degrees to the horizontal. It is supported by a rope held horizontally. Find the tension in the rope and the reaction of the plane on the mass.

Re: static on inclined planes
Hello, nice to meet you.
we have :
=> : Rcos(a)=P=mg => R=mg/cos(a)
and T=Rsin(a)=mg*tan(a)
m=46kg, g~9.81 kg*m/s^2, a=38°
