## izzy777 2 years ago please helpppp!!! Robin pulls a rope attached to a sled with a force of 50 N. The rope makes an angle of 30° with the ground, as shown below. What force will move the sled vertically upwards? 183.4 N 25 N 43.3 N 100 N

1. izzy777

2. ganeshie8

50/sin 30

3. izzy777

wait i dont get it?

4. ganeshie8

by applying 50N at an angle of 30 degrees, the sled is sliding horizontally, right ?

5. izzy777

yes

6. ganeshie8

so, if we apply the same force vertically, the slide will move up vertically

8. ganeshie8

so, we need to calculate the value of "x" for which the vertical component becomes "50"

9. ganeshie8

use trigonometry and find..

10. izzy777

i don't know how to solve it...

11. izzy777

im so confused

12. ganeshie8

see the angle 30 once. can you tell whats the opposite side for that angle ?

13. izzy777

well one of the angles = 90 degrees the other one has to be60

14. ganeshie8

|dw:1340941561296:dw|

15. ganeshie8

$$\huge sin\ 30 = \frac{50}{x}$$

16. ganeshie8

$$\huge x = \frac{50}{sin\ 30} = 100N$$

17. ganeshie8

hope it is clear now... ?

18. izzy777

yes! i think i get it now :) thank you so much can you help me with one more question?

19. ganeshie8

sure..

20. izzy777

A force of 8 N is exerted on a box. The component of this force which acts along the ground has a magnitude of 6.93 N, as shown below. What is the measure of angle x? 40° 50° 60° 30°

21. izzy777

22. ganeshie8

use cosine

23. izzy777

?

24. ganeshie8

cos x = adj/hyp = 6.93/8 x = cos^-1(6.93/8) degrees
