this is the problem:
A motorcycle and 63.6 kg rider accelerate at 3.1 m/s2 up a ramp inclined 9.1° above the horizontal. What are the magnitude of (a) the net force on the rider and (b) the force on the rider from the motorcycle?
I solved for a)
F=ma
= (63.6 kg)(3.1 m/s^2)
= 197.16 N
But I don't understand what b) means by the "force on the rider from the motorcycle"
