Question
A car (\( m = 1900 \, \text{kg} \)) is parked on a road that rises \( 12^\circ \) above the horizontal. What are the magnitudes of (a) the normal force and (b) the static frictional force that the ground exerts on the tires?

*Diagram Description:*

The diagram depicts a car parked on an inclined plane. The incline forms an angle \(\theta = 12^\circ\) with the horizontal. Two vectors are shown acting on the car:

1. **Frictional Force (\(f\)):** Depicted by a blue arrow pointing up the incline, parallel to the surface. It represents the static friction that prevents the car from sliding down.

2. **Normal Force (\(F_N\)):** Depicted by a blue arrow perpendicular to the surface of the incline, pointing upward. It represents the force exerted by the ground on the car, perpendicular to the inclined surface.
