A force of 15 N makes an angle of 60° with horizontal. Its vertical component will be ____?
Explanation
The vertical component of the force is:
Vertical component = Force × sin(angle)
= 15 N × sin(60°)
= 15 N × 0.866
= 13 N
So, the vertical component of the 15 N force at an angle of 60° is approximately 13 N.
