The component of the truck's weight parallel to the hill is 13,917.31 N.
The given parameters:
- Weight of the truck, W = 1.0 x 10⁵ N
- Inclination of the hill, θ = 8⁰
The component of the truck's weight parallel to the hill is calculated as follows;
[tex]W_x = mg \times sin(\theta)\\\\W_x = W \times sin(\theta)\\\\W_x = 1\times 10^5 \times sin(8)\\\\W_x = 13,917.31 \ N[/tex]
Thus, the component of the truck's weight parallel to the hill is 13,917.31 N.
