    Neglecting the friction the force required to move a body up an inclined plane can be expressed with the formula
    Fp = W h / l
    = W sin (1)
    where
    Fp = pulling force (N, lbf)
    W = m g = weight of body (N, lbf)
    h = elevation (m, ft)
    l = length (m, ft)
    = elevation angle (degrees)
    m = mass of body (kg, slugs)
    g = acceleration of gravity = 9.81 (m/s2) = 32.174 (ft/s2)
    Adding friction (1) can be modified to
    Fp = W (sin + cos ) (2)
    where
    = friction coefficient

    Example - Pulling Force on an Inclined Plane


    A body with mass 1000 kg is located on a 10 degrees inclined plane. The pulling force without friction can be calculated as
    Fp = (1000 kg) (9.81 m/s2) sin(10o)
    = 1703 N

    Angle of Repose
    A body resting on a plane inclined at at an angle to the horizontal plane is in a state of equiibrium when the gravitational force tending to slide the
    body down the inclined plane is balanced by an equal and opposite frictional force acting up the inclined plane.
    For equilibrium the "angle of response" can be expressed as:
    = Fp / Fn = (W sin ) / (W cos ) = tan (3)
