Question

(a) A box is resting on the ground and you can assume its location is the origin of the system. A person applies a force of 117 N to the box at angle of 305 degrees. Determine the horizontal component of the force applied to the box

Solution

Horizontal component $F_{x} = F \cos \theta = 117 \cos 305{}^{\circ} \approx 67.1 \, \text{N}$.

Answer: 67.1 N.
