A 10 N ball is supported by an incline and a cable making an angle a with the vertical direction. Knowing the force in the cable equal to 5 N, determine the angle a and the force exerted by the ball on the incline. Consider the ball as a particle.
The figure shows an overhead view of a 0.025 kg lemon half and two of the three horizontal forces that act on it as it is on a frictionless table. Force F has a magnitude of 7 N and is at 0, = 29°. Force F, has a magnitude of 9 N and is at e, = 26".
