Question

Find the Horizontal (x) vector for these forces.

Answer 1

See the explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The force is a vector therefore we can decompose the force into components x & y. as we need the horizontal component of the force, we must use the cosine function of the angle.

`F_(1x)=30.8*cos(20)\\F_(1x)=28.94[N]\\F_(2x)=34.3*cos(20)\\\\F_(2x)= 32.23[N]`
