If a box is pulled with a force of 100 N at an angle of 25
degrees, then what are the X and Y components of the force?

The X and Y components of the force are 90.63 Newton and 42.26 Newton respectively.

Given the following data:

  • Force = 100 Newton.
  • Angle of inclination = 25°

To determine the X and Y components of the force:

The horizontal component (X) of a force:

Mathematically, the horizontal component of a force is given by this formula:

[tex]F_x = Fcos \theta\\\\F_x =100 \times cos25\\\\F_x =100 \times 0.9063[/tex]

Fx = 90.63 Newton.

The vertical component (Y) of tensional force:

Mathematically, the vertical component of a force is given by this formula:

[tex]F_y = Fsin \theta\\\\F_y =100 \times sin25\\\\F_y =100 \times 0.4226[/tex]

Fy = 42.26 Newton.
