Comprehension Passage
Direction: Read the given information and answer the following questions.
A car is parked on an incline with a slope angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal. The car has a mass of 1500 kg. The parking brake is applied, and it exerts a force of 9800 N up the incline. Additionally, friction between the tires and the road also exerts a force of 7200 N up the incline. Gravity, acting down the incline due to the car's weight, is also a factor. The car remains stationary under the influence of these forces.
What is the total force exerted up the incline by the parking brake and the friction combined?
1
9800 N
2
17000 N
3
7200 N
4
7350 N
