the horizontal component of a force 200N. the force makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal calculate the force

Answer»

This force vector has a magnitude of 200N at 30 degrees to the Horizontal. This vectorhas two components, one horizontal and one vertical. The horizontal component of the force vectoris thevector projectedon the horizontalx axis and the vertical component is the projection of the vector on the vertical y axis. The 200N force is the resultant of the two components. therefore in a right angle triangle

The horizontal component can be found from cos 30 = x / 200x = horizontal component of the force,

x= 200 cos 30 = 200 × (√3/2) = 100√3N
