6 A trolley, of mass 100 kg , rolls at a constant speed along a straight line down a slope inclined at an angle of \(4 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal.
Assume that a constant resistance force, of magnitude \(P\) newtons, acts on the trolley as it moves. Model the trolley as a particle.
- Draw a diagram to show the forces acting on the trolley.
- Show that \(P = 68.4 \mathrm {~N}\), correct to three significant figures.
- Find the acceleration of the trolley if it rolls down a slope inclined at \(5 ^ { \circ }\) to the horizontal and experiences the same constant force of magnitude \(P\) that you found in part (b).
- Make one criticism of the assumption that the resistance force on the trolley is constant.
