1. **State the problem:** We need to find the force required to keep a 2755 lb car from rolling down a driveway inclined at 25 degrees to the horizontal.
2. **Identify the forces:** The weight of the car acts vertically downward. The component of this weight parallel to the incline causes the car to roll down.
3. **Formula used:** The force required to keep the car from rolling down equals the component of the weight parallel to the incline.
This force is given by:
$$F = W \sin(\theta)$$
where $W$ is the weight of the car and $\theta$ is the angle of the incline.
4. **Calculate the force:**
$$F = 2755 \times \sin(25^\circ)$$
5. **Evaluate $\sin(25^\circ)$:**
$$\sin(25^\circ) \approx 0.4226$$
6. **Multiply:**
$$F = 2755 \times 0.4226 = 1164.6$$
7. **Interpretation:** The force required to keep the car from rolling down the incline is approximately 1165 lb.
**Final answer:**
$$\boxed{1165 \text{ lb}}$$
Force Incline 7E4350
