Question

A toddler is pulling a toy car with 120 N of force at a 55° angle above the horizontal What is the horizontal
onent of the force exerted by the child?
a.68.8 N
b. 98.3 N
c. 120 N
d. 171 N
​

Answer 1

Answer:

a.68.8

I hope this is right answer

Answer 2

68.8 N is the horizontal component of the force exerted by the child.

Explanation:

The horizontal component of force is,

$F_h=Fcos\theta$

Substituting the values,

$F_h=120\times cos55^\circ\\F_h=120\times 0.57\\F_h=68.8N$
