Answer:

b = 54 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use proportions if the shapes are similar

Take the same side lengths over each other.

81 cm b cm

----------- = --------------

24 cm 16 cm

Using cross products

81 *16 = 24*b

Divide each side by 24

81*16/24 = 24b/24

54 =b

A rope pulling a sled is sloped at 15° upward at the point of contact. The tension in the rope is 50.0 N. What is the horizontal

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

The horizontal component of the force is 48 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle that the rope makes with with the horizontal is 15°, that means, the horizontal component of the force $F_H$ is

$cos(15^o)=\frac{F_H}{50N}$

$\boxed{ F_H=50N*cos(15^o)=48N}$
