Answer: 1.88 N

Explanation:

Data:

Force = 4.00N
angle = 62°
horizontal force = ?

Solution:

The trigonometric ratio that relates horizontal - leg to hypotenuse is the cosine.

That ratio is:

                        horizontal - leg
cos(angle) = -------------------------
                          hypotenuse

So, applied to the force, that is:

                             horizontal force
cos (angle) = -----------------------------------
                                 total force

So, clearing the horizontal component you get:
                                         
horizontal force = force * cos (angle)

Substitute the data given:

horizontal force = 4.00N * cos(62°) = 4.00N * 0.4695 = 1.88 N

Answer: 1.88N

The horizontal force will be equivalent to the total force multiplied by the cosine of the angle between them, that is, since the angle is 62.0 degrees from the ground, we multiply the force by cos 62.
So the total force will be 4cos62 = 1.88 Newtons of force.

What is the volume of a cone with a height of 27 cm
JulijaS [17]

Explanation:

→ Volume of cone = πr² × h/3

Here,

  • Radius (r) = 13 cm
  • Height (h) = 27 cm

→ Volume of cone = π(13)² × 27/3 cm³

→ Volume of cone = 169π × 9 cm³

→ Volume of cone = 1521π cm³

→ Volume of cone = 1521 × 22/7 cm³

→ Volume of cone = 33462/7 cm³

→ <u>Volume of cone = 4780.28 cm³</u>

insens350 [35]

Venus is called Earth's "Twin" because Earth and Venus have almost the same mass, size, similar composition and they are neighboring planets. Some of most notable differences though between the two planets are their color, temperature, Earth's ability to support life and their atmosphere. Venus' atmosphere is about 100x thicker than Earth's, Earth can support life while Venus can not because Earth has water and plant life and Earth is a bright blue and green while Venus is more orange and red.
