Arope attached to a sledge makes an angle of 40° with the ground. calculate the tension in the rope required to produce a horizontal component 100n? what will be the vertical component of this force? 5 force act as shown by low. calculate their resultant in magnitude and direction.

let the tension force in the rope attached to the sledge be "T"

θ  = angle of rope with the horizontal = 40 deg

X = horizontal component of tension force "T" = 100 N

horizontal component of tension force "T" is given as

X = T Cosθ

100 = T Cos40

T = 130.54 N

Y = vertical component of the tension force = ?

vertical component of the tension force is given as

Y = T Sinθ

inserting the values

Y = (130.54) Sin40

Y = 83.91 N

the independent variable, the one that is intentionally manipulated, is whether or not the car hits the barrier.

the dependent variable, the one that you measure the response in, is the distance that the washers travel.
