A truck pulls boxes up an incline plane. The truck can exert a maximum force of 2,500 N. If the plane's incline is (7 pi )/8 and the coefficient of friction is 5/3 , what is the maximum mass that can be pulled up at one time?

m<=132,56" " kg

Explanation:

enter image source here

2500>=m*g*sin alpha+k*m*g*cos alpha

2500 >=m(g*sin alpha+k*g*cos alpha)

m<=2500/(g*sin alpha+k*g*cos alpha)

k=5/3" "g=9,81 m/s^2" "alpha=22,5 ^o

m<=2500/((3,75+15,11))

m<=2500/(18,86)

m<=132,56" " kg
