USE EXACT ANSWERS... NO DECIMALS!*

Suppose a suitcase is pulled with a strap that makes an 30degree angle with the horizontal. The magnitude of the force exerted on the suitcase is 26 lb. Find the horizontal and vertical components of the force. Is the horizontal component of the force greater if the angle of the strap is 45degree instead of 30degree? Is the vertical component of the force greater if the angle of the strap is 45degree instead of 30degree? (Type exact answers, using radicals as needed.) Is the horizontal component of the force greater if the angle of the strap is 45degree instead of 30degree? Is the vertical component of the force greater if the angle of the strap is 45degree instead of 30degree?

Explanation / Answer

F horizontal = Fcos = 26cos30 = 133 lb

F vertical = Fsin = 13 lb

b. 26cos45 = 132

Hence, no

c. 26sin45 = 132

Hence, yes
