Question

if F=200N and 0=30 with horizontal what will be the value of Fx
(A) 50N
(B) 100N
(C) 173.2N
(D) 200N ​

Answer 1

Answer:

(C) 173.2N

Explanation:

To find the horizontal component we use

$\\\tt F \cos\theta$

where theta is the angle between x axis and the vector.

Using the given values:

$\\\tt 200 \cos(30^{\circ}) N\\ = 20 \times \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} N \\=173.2N$
