A garden roller is pulled with a force of 200N acting at an angle of 50* with the ground level.Find the effective force pulling the roller along the ground.
200 cos50 = 128.6 N
200cos50°
=0.6428×200
=64.28×2
=128.56N
To find the effective force pulling the roller along the ground, we need to resolve the force into its horizontal and vertical components.
The horizontal component of the force is given by:
F_horizontal = F * cos(theta)
where F is the magnitude of the force (200N) and theta is the angle (50 degrees).
Substituting the given values, we have:
F_horizontal = 200N * cos(50°)
Now, we can calculate the value of F_horizontal.
