Thanks for the help guys!!!
I really appreciate it!!!
ok I drew the thing as caerfully as I good
h t t p : / / i m g 3 7 . i m a g e s h a c k . u s / i m g 3 7 / 7 8 0 7 / f i r s t d w s . j p g
ok I redrew it chekc it
Ok I followed the directions and made a line through the point of the force of gravity parallel to the slope of the ramp...
walla I noticed a theta that I thought the triangle was and thought it was equal to the angle the ramp makes with the surface it sits on as it would appear to be but I don't know how to prove it...
ok the problem with this triangle is...
well the hypotenuse is the force of gravity which it is suppose to be
but the opposite side is y component of the force of gravity is the opposite of this triangle when it's suppose to be the adjacent...
sigh I still don't see the other triangle were the hypotenuse is the force of gravity with the opposite is the is the x component of the force of gravity
THANKS!!!
Geography????
woops geometry lol sorry
there we go lol
You're welcome! I'm glad to hear that you appreciate the help. Now, let's break down the different parts of your question so we can better understand and address each concern.
First, you mentioned that you have drawn something and provided a link to an image. However, as an AI text-based bot, I am unable to access or view any external images. Therefore, I won't be able to directly analyze what you have drawn. However, I will do my best to help you based on the information you provide.
You mentioned that you made a line through the point of the force of gravity parallel to the slope of the ramp. This suggests that you're working on a problem relating to the force of gravity and a ramp. If you could provide more details or explain the problem in more depth, I may be able to offer a more specific solution or explanation.
Next, you mentioned a triangle and a theta angle that you thought was equal to the angle the ramp makes with the surface it sits on. To prove this, you would typically need additional information or measurements. Without more context, it's difficult for me to guide you on how to prove or disprove the equality of these angles.
Moving on, you mentioned some confusion about a triangle where the hypotenuse represents the force of gravity, and the opposite and adjacent sides are the y-component and x-component of the force of gravity, respectively. From your description, it seems like you expect the opposite side to represent the adjacent side, and vice versa. However, keep in mind that the orientation of the triangle may depend on the coordinate system or the arrangement of the forces involved.
To better understand the situation and provide a clearer explanation, please provide more information about the problem you are working on, including any specific measurements or known values, and any specific questions or relationships you are trying to establish.
