A sledge of weight 300 N rests on a slope. The weight is resolved into a component parallel to the slope surface and a component at right angles to the slope surface. Which statement is correct?
The two components add to 300 N when added as ordinary numbers.
The component parallel to the slope is always the larger component.
The two components together have the same effect as the 300 N weight.
Each of the two components must be smaller than 150 N in size.
