A force of 34.5 newtons is applied to an object at an angle of 45º with the horizontal. What is the force acting on the object in the horizontal direction?

Asked by GennaCrudo

Answer (3)

The horizontal component of the force is 34.5 cos(45) = 24.4 newtons
The vertical component of the force is 34.5 sin(45) = 24.4 newtons

The horizontal component of a 34.5 Newton force applied at a 45° angle is approximately 24.4 Newtons. This is calculated using the formula F_x = F cos(θ). By substituting the values into the equation, we derive the horizontal component of the force.
