A force of 73.8 newtons is applied to travel bag at an angle 39.0° with the horizontal. What are the horizontal and vertical components of the force?

Respuesta :

The horizontal component of the force is the product of the cosine of the angle and the magnitude of the force, Fx = (73.8 N)(cos 39) = 57.35 N. The vertical component of this force is the product of the sine of the angle and the force, Fy = (73.8 N)(sin 39) = 46.44 N.
