The horizontal component of the force is 57.4 N and the vertical component of the force is 46.4 N
How do I determine the horizontal component of force?
The horizontal component of the force can be obtained as follow:
Force applied (F) = 73.8 Newtons
Angle of projection (θ) = 39 °
Horizontal component of force (Fx) =?
Horizontal component of force (Fx) = F × Cosθ
Fx = 73.8 × Cos 39
Fx = 57.4 N
Thus, the horizontal component of force is 57.4 N
How do I determine the vertical component of force?
The vertical component of the force can be obtained as follow:
Force applied (F) = 73.8 Newtons
Angle of projection (θ) = 39 °
Vertical component of force (Fy) =?
Vertical component of velocity (Fy) = u × Sine θ
Fy = 73.8 × Sine 39
Fy = 46.4 N
Thus, the vertical component of force is 46.4 N
