Question

5. A force of 50 N is acting on a body at an angle of 30° with the
horizontal
. Find its horizontal and vertical components.
Ans.43 3 N95 NI​

Answer 1

Horizontal component of Force is

Horizontal Force = Force × cos 30°

Horizontal Force = 50 N × cos 30°

Horizontal Force = 50 N × (√3/2)

Horizontal Force = 25√3 N

Thus, the horizontal component is 25√3 N.

Vertical component of Force is

Vertical Force = Force × sin 30°

Vertical Force = 50 N × sin 30°

Vertical Force = 50 N × (1/2)

Vertical Force = 25 N

Thus, the vertical component is 25 N.
