a boy is pulling on a wagon with a force of 70 N directed at an angle of 30 degrees to the horizontal. What force is the wagon being pulled horizontally?

4 answers

since given angle is 30 deg to the horizontal, the horizontal force is just,
Fx = F*cos(theta)
Fx = 70*cos(30)
now simplify this.
34.64
X- 60.0 N
Y- 35 N
