Nancy and Harry are sliding a stone statue and moving it to a new location in their garden. Nancy is pushing the statue with a f

orce of 120N at a 60° angle to the horizontal and Harry is pulling the statue with a force of 180N at a 40° angle with the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the horizontal force exerted on the statue?

Answer:

197,8879 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of the horizontal force exerted on the statue can be calculated using trigonometric functions.

The question given says that <em><u>Nancy</u></em> is <em><u>pushing</u></em> the statue with a force of<em><u> 120 N at a 60° angle to the horizontal</u></em> and <em><u>Harry</u></em> is <em><u>pulling</u></em> the statue with a force of <u><em>180 N at a 40° angle with the horizontal</em></u>.

With that information can be calculated the horizontal force exerted on the statue by Nancy, the horizontal force exerted on the statue by Harry and, adding that results, the total horizontal magnitude can be calculated.

The cosine function can be used to calculate the horizontal component of the forces exerted by Nancy and Harry, to determine the horizontal component of the force exerted on the statue.

F= (120 N cos 60°) + (180 N x cos 40°)

F= 197,8879 N
