To find the horizontal and vertical components of the force applied by the man, we can use trigonometry.
The force applied by the man is 100 N, and it makes an angle of 45 degrees with the road. We can break down this force into its horizontal and vertical components.
The horizontal component of the force can be calculated using the cosine function:
Horizontal component = Force * cos(angle)
Horizontal component = 100 N * cos(45 degrees)
Horizontal component = 100 N * 0.707 (approximately)
Horizontal component ≈ 70.7 N
The vertical component of the force can be calculated using the sine function:
Vertical component = Force * sin(angle)
Vertical component = 100 N * sin(45 degrees)
Vertical component = 100 N * 0.707 (approximately)
Vertical component ≈ 70.7 N
Therefore, the horizontal component of the force is approximately 70.7 N, and the vertical component of the force is also approximately 70.7 N.
