Question

If a force of 50 pounds is directed 30° from the horizontal, what vector represents this force?

Answer 1

`F_x=43.30\ N`

Explanation:

Given that,

Force, F = 50 pounds

It is directed at 30° from the horizontal.

The force will be given by :

`F_x=F\cos\theta\\\\=50* \cos(30)\\\\=43.30\ N`

So, the required force is 43.30 N.
