The question as text
26 N W N θ A crate of weight W N is at rest on rough horizontal ground. The crate is pulled at a constant acceleration of 1.5 m s 2 - along the ground in a straight line by a light rope. The rope is inclined at an angle of i to the horizontal, where sin 1 13 5 i = - . The tension in the rope is 26 N (see diagram). The coefficient of friction between the crate and the ground is 0.25.
