Scott and Becca are moving a folding table out of the sunlight. A cup of lemonade, with a mass of 0.44 kg, is on the table. Scott lifts his end of the table before Becca does, and as a result, the table makes an angle of 15.0° with the horizontal. Find the components of the cup's weight that are parallel and perpendicular to the plane of the table. (g = 9.8 m/s?
