thanx alot
Hey engineer I can't tell you how great it felt to get a reply

I posted this problem in a physics forum but I got 0 replies.
I really appreciate that you took your time to read this and help.
It turns out that u r right about #4 45m is the length of the ramp I guess I labeled it wrong
Anyway first I started with a formula I used to work with W=MG SO I PLUGGED IN THE VARIABLES AND GOT W=65(9.8) WHIC EQUALS W=637
GRAVITY OR G=9.8 RIGHT??? or should it be -9.8?
I used the formula you suggested to get the normal force and the parellel force
Fn=9.8cos55 Fn=5.62N
Fp=9.8sin55 Fp=8.028N
I also used a formula I know Ff=-umg Ff=-.01(637) Ff=-6.37N
I stopped here cause I assumed that I did something wrong because as I mentioned earlier I'm not sure about the gravity.
Also, the formulas you mentioneed something earlier about "the ramp completely counter the normal force , leaving only the parallel force to propel willie" I didn't really get that.
Sorry to bother you again..but if you could please post back and tell me if I'm on the right track.
thanx a billion
