Question : 17

Total: 125

Solution:

Concept:

The horizontal component of a force is found using the cosine of the angle between the force and the horizontal.

Explanation:

The formula for the horizontal component is

F_x = F \cos \theta

Here, applied force

F = 150\,\text{N}

and

\theta = 60^\circ

So,

F_x = 150 \cos 60^\circ

Since

\cos 60^\circ = 0.5

, we get

F_x = 150 \times 0.5 = 75\,\text{N}

Answer:

The horizontal component of the applied force is

75\,\text{N}

, which is option B.
