Question

Jason is pulling a box across the room. He is pulling with a force of 12 newtons and his arm is making a 60 angle with the horizontal, what is the horizontal component of the force he is pulling with? ​

Answer 1

That depends on the direction of the pulling force.The horizontal component of the pulling force must be 100 N.So the more steeply the rope angles upward, the harder you'dhave to pull on it in order to create a 100N horizontal component.
