A force of 50n is applied to an object at an angle of 50 degrees measured relative to the horizontal. Determine the horizontal and vertical components of the applied force?

Fx = 32.14 [N]

Fy  = 38.3 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must decompose the force vector, for this we will use the angle of 50 degrees measured from the horizontal component.

F = 50 [N]

Fx = 50*cos(50) = 32.14 [N]

Fy = 50*sin(50) = 38.3 [N]

We can verify this result using the Pythagorean theorem.

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
