Answer:
The angle of inclination of the plane [tex]\theta[/tex] = 1.91°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
W = 300 lb
Force sufficient to slide the box F = 10 lb
From the free body diagram
W [tex]\sin \theta[/tex] = F
Put the values in above formula we get
300 [tex]\sin \theta[/tex] = 10
[tex]\sin \theta[/tex] = 0.0333
[tex]\theta[/tex] = 1.91°
This is the angle of inclination of the plane.
