Question

A force of 9.00 newtons acts at an angle of 19.0 to the horizontal. What is its component in the horizontal direction?

Answer 1

In this question we have given,

Force, F=9N

angle,α=19degree with horizontal

therefore,

Component of force in horizontal direction is given as

`F_(x) =F* Cos\alpha`

`F_(x) =9* Cos19`

`F_(x) =9* .946`

`F_(x) =8.51N`
