Jason applies a force of 4.00 newtons to a sled at an angle 62.0 degrees from the ground. What is the component of force effective in pulling the sled horizontally along the ground?

4 answers

4cos62° = 1.88N

If α is the angle that the force F makes with horizontal, F(x)=m•g•cosα

The correct answer is F(x)=F•cosα

1.87N
