A forklift is used to offload freight from a delivery truck. Together the forklift and its contents weigh 800 lb , and the weight is evenly distributed among four wheels .The ramp is inclined 14 ° from the horizontal. a. Write the force vector F in terms of i and j representing the weight against a single tire. b. Find the component vector of F parallel to the ramp. Round values to 1 decimal place. c. Find the magnitude of the force needed to keep the forklift from rolling down the ramp. Round to the nearest pound.

Quantities that have magnitude and direction but not position. Some examples of vectors are velocity, displacement, acceleration, and force. They are sometimes called Euclidean or spatial vectors.
A 20 foot ladder rests on level ground; its head (top) is against a vertical wall. The bottom of the ladder begins by being 12 feet from the wall but begins moving away at the rate of 0.1 feet per second. At what rate is the top of the ladder slipping down the wall? You may use a calculator.
