Marcie shovels snow after a storm by exerting a force of 32 n on her shovel at an angle of 50 degrees to the vertical. what is the horizontal component of the force exerted by marcie? answer to the nearest whole newton.

The horizontal component of the force exerted by Marcie is 25 N

Explanation:

Lets explain how to solve the question

Marcie shovels snow after a storm by exerting a force of 32 N on her

shovel at an angle of 50 degrees to the vertical

We need to find the horizontal component of the force exerted by Marci

The force direction is 50° to the vertical means

→ tan(50) = , where x is the horizontal component

of the force and y is vertical component

→ tan(50) =

By comparing between the two expressions of tan(50)

→ The horizontal component is Fx = F sin(50)

→ The vertical component is Fy = F cos(50)

We need the horizontal component

→ F = 32 N

→ The horizontal component = 32 sin(50) = 24.51 N ≅ 25 N

The horizontal component of the force exerted by Marcie is 25 N

if you already have the answer to (a), then just work out how many periods there are in 1 minute, and that's the answer to (c).
