Question

A wagon is pulled by a handle making an upward angle of 25 degrees with a force of 25N. What is the horizontal force pulling the wagon forward?

Answer 1

Answer:

22.658 N

Explanation:

We can consider the Force as a sum of horizontal and vertical force vector components as mentioned in the graph,

Here the θ =25 degrees , F=25

Horizontal force =Fx

cos θ $\frac{F_x}{F}$

$F_x =25 * cos (25)\\F_x=22.658 N$
