Question

The horizontal component of force acting at an angle of 30 degree with the horizontal is 100N.Find the magnitude of the force and its vertical component.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using trigonometry:

cos θ = Fx / F

cos 30 = 100 / F

F = 115.47

tan θ = Fy / Fx

tan 30 = Fy / 100

Fy = 57.74

The magnitude is 115.47 N and the vertical component is 57.74 N. Round as needed.
