Question

The vertical component of a force is 200 N. The force makes an angle of 30° with the horizontal. Calculate the force.

Answer 1

Answer:

If the force at an angle of 30° to horizon is p its vertical.component is p*Sin 30°

As this vertical component of the force is given as 200 N,

p*Sin 30°= 200 N or

p* 1/2 = 200 N , or p = 400 N

The horizontal component of 400 N at 30° to horizon is 400* Cos 30° , or 400*√3/2 , or

200√3 N or 346.41 N
