Question

A girl pushes a boxplaced on the floor with a force of 50 N at an angle of 37 degree below the horizontal if the box move towards the positive x direction, what are the vector components of the force?

Answer 1

Fx = 40 N

Fy = 30 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Fx = 50 × cos37°

= 50 × 0.8

= 40 N

Fy = 50 × sin37°

= 50 × 0.6

= 30 N
