Use boundary

Calculation path

Resolve weight into components parallel and perpendicular to an incline. The page evaluates the displayed equation from your supplied values and presents both symbolic and substituted KaTeX working so the arithmetic can be checked.

Calculation path

F_parallel=mg sin(theta)

What you provide

What you provide

  • Object mass expressed in kg, using the same scenario as the other inputs
  • Incline angle expressed in deg, using the same scenario as the other inputs
  • Gravitational acceleration expressed in m/s^2, using the same scenario as the other inputs

What you receive

What you receive

  • Down-slope weight component in N from the stated equation
  • A symbolic formula plus substituted working with your values
  • Visible assumptions, field guidance, and an authoritative learning reference

Use boundary

Choose the maximum decimal places shown. This does not increase source accuracy.

The incline is rigid, acceleration due to gravity is uniform, and friction or applied forces are not included.

Use internally consistent units and retain extra precision when carrying the result into another calculation.
