A body of mass 2 kg is suspended by a rope and is pulled to a side by means of horizontal force, so that the rope makes an angle 45 degrees with the verticale the horizontal force is

Answer 1

If the rope makes an angle 45 degrees with the vertical then horizontal and vertical force are equal. The vertical force is
F = mg = 2
9:8 = 19.6N
Hence, the horizontal force is 19.6 N.
