    First, we calculate for the weight of the object by multiplying the given mass by the acceleration due to gravity which is equal to 9.8 m/s²

    Weight = (14 kg) (9.8 m/s²)

    Weight = 137.2 N

    The component of the weight that is along the surface of the inclined plane is equal to this weight times the sine of the given angle.

    Weight = (137.2 N) (sin 52°)

    weight = 108.1 N
