If a child pulls a sled through the snow on a level path with a force of 80 N exerted at an angle of 44° above the horizontal, find the horizontal and vertical components of the force. (Give your answers correct to one decimal place.)

Respuesta :

Answer:

Horizontal component of force =[tex]57.5N[/tex]

Vertical component of force=[tex]55.6N[/tex]

Explanation:

We are given that

Force=80 N

[tex]\theta=44^{\circ}[/tex]

We have to find the horizontal and vertical components of the force.

We know that

Horizontal component of force=[tex]Fcos\theta[/tex]

Vertical component of force=[tex]Fsin\theta[/tex]

Using the formula

Horizontal component of force =[tex]80cos44^{\circ}[/tex]

Horizontal component of force =[tex]57.5N[/tex]

Vertical component of force=[tex]80sin44^{\circ}[/tex]

Vertical component of force=[tex]55.6N[/tex]
