We determine the distance of a Cepheid by We determine the distance of a Cepheid by measuring its parallax. knowing that all Cepheids have about the same luminosity and then applying the inverse square law for light. determining its luminosity from the period-luminosity relation and then applying the inverse square law for light.

weight of the box is given as

here this is placed on the inclined of angle 42 degree

now this weight will have two components one is along the incline other is perpendicular to it

so here we need to apply a force parallel to incline opposite to its component of weight

so here the component of weight is given as

here we have

so it requires 75 n force to move it upwards
