Question

POSSIBLE POINTS: 60

A steel cable exerts a 100 N force on a cable car at an angle of 35° above the horizontal. What
is the vertical component of this force?
O 81.9 N horizontal (right)
O 57.4 N horizontal (right)
O 81.9 N vertical (up)
o 57.4 N vertical (up)

Answer 1

B. 57.4 N horizontal (right)

Step-by-step explanation:

using cos method:

`cos(35) = (vertical force)/(100)`

`vertical force = 57.4 N`

As its vertical, the direction of this force should be up.
