Answer:

━☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟIf <em>the angle is the angle between the eastern axis and the vector, then the leg adjacent the angle is the x-component and the leg opposite the angle is the y-component. Thus, the cosine function is used to calculate the x-component and the sine function is used to calculate the y</em>

Answer:

5.7141 m

Explanation:

Here the potential and kinetic energy will balance each other

$mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}$

This is the initial velocity of the system and the final velocity is 0

t = Time taken = 0.04 seconds

F = Force = 18000 N

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Equation of motion

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

From Newton's second law

$F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=m\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow 18000=68\frac{0-\sqrt{2gh}}{0.04}\\\Rightarrow \frac{18000}{68}\times 0.04=-\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times h}\\\Rightarrow 10.58823=-\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times h}$
