A force of 50n is applied to an object at an angle of 50 degrees measured relative to the horizontal. Determine the horizontal a
1 answer:
Answer:
Fx = 32.14 [N]
Fy = 38.3 [N]
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must decompose the force vector, for this we will use the angle of 50 degrees measured from the horizontal component.
F = 50 [N]
Fx = 50*cos(50) = 32.14 [N]
Fy = 50*sin(50) = 38.3 [N]
We can verify this result using the Pythagorean theorem.

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to equilibrium, for this specific case, through the sum of torques.
If the distance in which the 600lb are applied is 6in, we will have to add the unknown Force sum, at a distance of 27in - 6in will be equivalent to that required to move the object. So,
So, Force that must be applied at the long end in order to lift a 600lb object to the short end is 171.42lb
