The force acting along X-axis is 7.5N
Given:
A force of 15N is acting due east or horizontally towards right or along positive x axis.
Solution:
Force: A force is an influence in physics that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause a mass object to change its velocity (e.g., moving from rest), i.e., to accelerate. Intuitively, force can be described as a push or a pull. A force is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction. It is measured in newtons, the SI unit of mass (N). The symbol F represents force (formerly P).
Along X-axis the force acting is a component of Cosine angle.
So, Along horizontal axis the component of force acting is,
⇒ °
From trigonometric angles rule, Cos60 = 1/2
⇒ 15 * 1/2
⇒ 7.5 N.
∴ The force acting along X-axis is 7.5N
