Answer:
The angle from the horizontal in which the force is acting 35.7°
Explanation:
It is given that, The net force acting on an object in the horizontal direction is 25 newtons, and the force acting in the vertical direction is 18 newtons. We have to find the angle from the horizontal in which the force is acting.
We know that force is a vector quantity. So, the angle between the two forces is given by :
[tex]tan\ \theta=\dfrac{F_y}{F_x}[/tex]
[tex]tan\ \theta=\dfrac{18}{25}[/tex]
[tex]\theta=35.7\ ^0[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
