Question 1007207: A man pushes a lawn mower with a force of 26 lbs exerted at an angle of 30 degrees to the ground. Find the horizontal and vertical components of the force. Assume that the horizontal direction is positive and the vertical direction is negative. Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The horizontal component is 26 * cos(30) = 22.5 lbs
The vertical component is 26 * sin(30) = 13 lbs
