 4. A block is resting on an incline of slope 5:12 as shown in Fig. P-007. It is subjected to
a force F = 500 N on a slope of 3:4. Determine the components of F parallel and
perpendicular to the incline.

 7. The triangular block shown is subjected to the loads P = 1600 lb and F = 600 lb. If AB
= 8 in. and BC = 6 in., resolve each load into components normal and tangential to
AC.

 8. The body on the 30° incline in Fig. P-009 is acted upon by a force P inclined at 20° with
the horizontal. If P is resolved into components parallel and perpendicular to incline
and the value of the parallel component is 1800 N, compute the value of the
perpendicular component and that of P.
