How are forces in opposite directions handled when finding the resultant?
A
The string has negligible mass.
B
The component of weight perpendicular to an inclined plane, acting into the plane, is mgcosθ\boxed{mg\cos\theta}mgcosθ.
C
For a body in equilibrium, ∑F=0\boxed{\sum F=0}∑F=0.
D
Give them opposite signs.
