A cart rests on an inclined track that makes an angle ? with respect to the horizontal. the cart is held in place by a light string passing over a pulley. The other end of the string is attached to a force sensor that is bolted to the table.
a) Find the angle of incline.
b) If the tension force T = 2.83 N, find the mass of the cart.
I have no idea how to solve for theta when I'm given no known values. I'm pretty sure if I find that I can figure out how to do b though. Help please? Am I missing something totally obvious?
