A dog pulls on a leash with a force of 15 23 is a big dog. The leash makes an angle of 36.7 degrees to the horizontal. What are the x and y components of the force?

and

Explanation:

The first sentence of this question is not explanatory enough. However, I'll assume the force to be 15N

to the horizontal

Required

Solve for the x and y components

Since the given angle is to the horizontal, the x and y coordinates are calculated using the following illustrations.

---- y component

---- x component

Calculating the y component.

Substitute 15 for Force and 36.7 for

becomes

Make y the subject

Calculating the x component.

Substitute 15 for Force and 36.7 for

becomes

Make y the subject

Hence, the x and y components of the force are: 8.964N and 12.027N respectively.
