A ware house worker pushed a crate along the floor, as shown in fig 4.34, by a force of 10N that points downward at an angle of 45 degrees below the horizontal. Find the horizontal and vertical components of the push.
Answered by Damon
both horizontal and down are 10 * sqrt2 /2 Newtons
because
sin 45 = cos 45 = sqrt2 /2
