Force on refrigerator acts in 2 directions
Force acts in 2 directions
St. Mary's HS Physics
Which component is responsible for making this cart move?
Only horizontal part (Fx)
#18 - Angle and components
If angle were increased....
Vertical component? Increase
Horizontal component?
Decrease
Fy = 60. Nsin37°
Fy = 36 N North
Fx = 60Ncos37°
Fx = 48 N East
Check a2 + b2 = c2
36 N2 + 48 N2= 60 N2
Ex) Weight of Cart = 80 N
Horizontal Component of Weight Force?
O N
Vertical Component of Weight Force?
8O N
Horizontal Component 0 N
Vertical Component 80 N down
Ex) A 50 N changes from 80° to 10°.
vertical component?
decreases
Ex) A 50 N changes from 80° to 10°.
horizontal component?
increases
