Question

80 kg force acting on horizontal make an angle of 30° it horizontal component is

Answer 1

It's not 80 kg.. It's 80Newton

Answer 2

Answer:

The horizontal component of the force is 69.28 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Force acting on the object, F = 80 N

The force making an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal. There are two components of this force one in horizontal direction and other in vertical direction. The horizontal component of the force is given by :

$F_x=F\ cos\theta$

$F_x=80\times \ cos(30)$

$F_x=69.28\ N$

So, the horizontal component of this force is 69.28 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
