Answer: 34.4N
Explanation:
Given the following :
Applied force (F) = 65N
Angle of inclination (Θ) = 58°
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^2
Therefore, net force in the x-direction is given has;
The horizontal component of force;
Fx = mgCosΘ
Fhorizontal = mass × acceleration due to gravity × cosΘ
mass × acceleration due to gravity = 65N
Fx = 65N × Cos58°
Fx = 65 × 0.5299192
Fx = 34.44N
