Answer

(a) Please refer to the free-body diagram. (b) $F_N = 12.0~m$ (c) $F_T = 6.88~m$

Work Step by Step

(a) Please refer to the free-body diagram. (b) $F_N~cos(35.0^{\circ}) = mg$ $F_N = \frac{mg}{cos(35.0^{\circ})} = \frac{(m)(9.80~m/s^2)}{cos(35.0^{\circ})}$ $F_N = 12.0~m$ (c) $F_T = F_N~sin(35.0^{\circ})$ $F_T = (12.0~m)~sin(35.0^{\circ})$ $F_T = 6.88~m$
