Answer:
the horizontal component of the force is 50 N
Explanation:
Given;
force applied by the man, F = 100 N
angle of inclination of the force, θ = 60⁰
mass of the dog, m = 20 kg
The horizontal component of the force is calculated as;
[tex]F_x = F\times cos(\theta)\\\\F_x = 100 \ N \times cos(60^0)\\\\F_x = 100\ N \times 0.5\\\\F_x = 50 \ N[/tex]
Therefore, the horizontal component of the force is 50 N
