Question

Jason is pulling a box across the room. He is polling with a force of 24 newtons and his arm a 79 angle with the horizontal, what is the vertical component of the force is pulling with?

Answer 1

Given data

*The given force is F = 24 N

*The given angle with the horizontal is

`\theta=79^0`

The formula for the vertical component of the force is pulling is given as

`F_v=F\sin \theta`

Substitute the known values in the above expression as

`\begin{gathered} F_v=24*\sin 79^0 \\ =23.55\text{ N} \end{gathered}`

Hence, the vertical component of the force is pulling with is 23.55 N
