If a child pulls a sled through the snow on a level path with a force of 60 N exerted at an angle of 39° above the horizontal, find the horizontal and vertical components of the force.

Respuesta :

Explanation:

Given that,

Force with which a child pulls a sled, F = 60 N

It is at an angle of  39° above the horizontal. We need to find the horizontal and vertical components of the force.

The horizontal component is given by :

[tex]F_x=30\ cos(39)=23.31\ N[/tex]

The vertical component is given by :

[tex]F_y=30\ sin(39)=18.87\ N[/tex]        

So, the horizontal and vertical components of the force are 23.31 N and 18.87 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
