Question

A force of 200 N, acting at 60° to the horizontal, accelerates a block of mass 50 kg along a horizontal plane. Calculate the component of the 200N force that accelerates the block horizontally​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

a)     Fx = F cos (θ)

           = (200) cos(60)

           = 100 N

b)     FR = ma

       Fx + Ff = ma

      100 + Ff = (50)(1,5)

       Ff     = 75 - 100

               =  -25 N

c)    Fy = F sin θ

           = (200) sin(60)

           = 173,2 N
