F(x) =Fcosα
F(y)=F sinα
1. A man pulls a crate with a rope. The crate slides along the floor in the horizontal direction
(x direction). The man exerts a force of 50 N on the rope, and the rope is at an angle q. Describe how the force components (Fx, Fy) change as the angle increases from 0° to 90° and use your graph to explain your answer. Give a detailed explanation of the forces at
q = 0°, 45°, and 90°. Show a sample calculation at one angle for both components.
