Calculator and formulas for inclined plane
This function calculates the forces acting on an inclined plane.
The weight force \(\displaystyle F_G\) can be divided into a component perpendicular to the inclined plane (Normal force component \(\displaystyle F_{N} \) and a component parallel to the inclined plane (applied force \(\displaystyle F_{H}\)).
|
\(\displaystyle F_H=F_G·sin(α)\)
\(\displaystyle F_N=F_G·cos(α)\)
\(\displaystyle F_G\) : Weight
\(\displaystyle F_H\) : Applied force
\(\displaystyle F_N\) : Normal force
\(\displaystyle α\) : Angle
