Cass is walking her dog (Oreo) around the neighborhood. Upon arriving at Calina's house (a friend of Oreo's), Oreo turns part mule and refuses to continue on the walk. Cass yanks on the chain with a 67 N force at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. Determine the horizontal and vertical components of the tension force.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Horizontal component: [tex]F_x = 58\ N[/tex]

Vertical component: [tex]F_y = 33.5\ N[/tex]

Explanation:

To find the horizontal and vertical components of the force, we just need to multiply the magnitude of the force by the cosine and sine of the angle with the horizontal, respectively.

Therefore, for the horizontal component, we have:

[tex]F_x = F * cos(angle)[/tex]

[tex]F_x = 67 * cos(30)[/tex]

[tex]F_x = 58\ N[/tex]

For the vertical component, we have:

[tex]F_y = F * sin(angle)[/tex]

[tex]F_y = 67 * sin(30)[/tex]

[tex]F_y = 33.5\ N[/tex]

So the horizontal component of the tension force is 58 N and the vertical component is 33.5 N.
