The Applied Force (FA) formula compute
Force on a Ramp the absolute value of a downward force base on a horizontal force (FW) and the angle of incline (Θ).
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose your preferred units and enter the following:
- (FW) The horizontal force
- (Θ) The slope of the ramp
The calculator returns the resulting applied force (FA) in newtons. However, this can be automatically converted to other force units via the pull-down menu.
