Question

A garden roller is pulled with a force of 200N, acting at an angle of 50 degree with the ground level.find the force pulling the roller along the ground​

Answer 1

Answer:

128.6 N

Explanation:

To find the force pulling the roller along the ground, we need to find the component of the force that is parallel to the ground. This can be done by using the equation:

$F_x = F cos \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the direction of the ground level

Here we have:

F = 200 N

$\theta = 50^{\circ}$

Substituting into the equation,

$F_x = (200)(cos 50^{\circ})=128.6 N$
