Calculate the weight of the table through the equation,
W = mg
where W is the weight, m is the mass, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Substituting the known values,
W = (0.44 kg)(9.8 m/s²)
W = 4.312 N
The components of this weight can be calculated through the equation,
Wx = W(sin θ)
and Wy = W(cos θ)
x - component:
Wx = W(sin θ)
Substituting,
Wx = (4.312 N)(sin 150°) = 2.156 N
Wy = (4.312 N)(cos 150°) = -3.734 N
