I have a question in my textbook where I'm given weight of a "penguin in a sled" as 80N but the object is on a 40 degree angle. Is it telling me that on a normal flat surface the weight is 80N so that way to figure out the force of gravity on the x-axis I must divide the W by 9.8 then plug in my m (mass) that I get to find for the force of gravity along the x-axis as: mgsin(theta)? In the solution that a user posted on slader, they said to find mass its W/9.8 even though the object is being used on a incline of 40 degrees?
