two forces exerted on a block as shown in the figure below.what is the horizontal component of net force
To find this answer
Can you send the answer for this question
Answer
To find the horizontal component of the net force, we need to determine the individual horizontal components of the two forces and then add them together.
1. Examine the figure to identify the two forces acting on the block.
2. Determine the magnitudes and directions of the two forces. Let's call them F1 and F2.
3. Split the forces into their horizontal and vertical components.
4. Calculate the horizontal component of each force by multiplying the magnitude of the force by the cosine of the angle it makes with the horizontal axis.
Horizontal component of F1 = F1 * cos(angle1)
Horizontal component of F2 = F2 * cos(angle2)
5. Add the horizontal components of the forces together to find the horizontal component of the net force.
Horizontal component of net force = Horizontal component of F1 + Horizontal component of F2.
Note: Make sure to use the appropriate units for measuring the forces and angles in the calculations.
