A string exerts a force of 20 N on a box at an angle of 38° from the horizontal. What is the horizontal
component of the force on the box?

Sagot :

Answer:

15.76N

Explanation:

horizontal component =Fcos¢ = 20cos38 = 15.76N

horizontal component = Fx = F cos α

vertical component = Fy = F sin α

the horizontal component of the force on the box:

[tex]\tt =20\times cos~38^o\\\\=\boxed{\bold{15.76~N}}[/tex]
