3)Researchers at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho coordinate many of the firefighting efforts necessary to battle wildfires in the western United States. In an effort to dispatch firefighters for containment, scientists and meteorologists attempt to forecast the direction of the fires. Some of this data can be expressed as matrices. Help them solve the following problems.
3. The chemical retardants are freight shipped from a warehouse. A shipping crate that weights 450 kilograms is placed on a loading ramp that makes an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal. Find the magnitude of the components of the crate's weight perpendicular and parallel to the incline.
