A child pulls a Box with a force of 200 N and an angle of 60° above the horizontal. Then the horizontal and vertical components of the forces are |
|
Answer» Since we are given the angle the plane makes with the horizontal, we can get the horizontal and vertical COMPONENTS using trigonometric RATIOS. The 200 N is the HYPOTENUSE magnitude. SIN 60° = Vertical / 200N Vertical = 200 × Sin 60 200 × 0.8660 = 173.2 N Horizontal = 200 × Cos 60° 200 × 0.5 = 100 N |
