QuestionFind the grade resistance in pounds for a 2000-pound car on a $2.4^{\circ}$ uphill grade using $F=W \sin \theta$.

Studdy Solution
Calculate the force due to gravity.
$$=2000 \times \sin(0.04189) =83.6$$The grade resistance of a2000-pound car traveling on a $2.4^{\circ}$ uphill grade is83.6 pounds.
