  1. Question 1

    Q1. A 50 N force is applied to a body at an angle of 30° to the horizontal. What is its horizontal component?

    • A) 25 N
    • B) 43.3 N
    • C) 50 N
    • D) 25√3 N

    Answer: 43.3 N

    Explanation: Horizontal component = F cos(θ) = 50 * cos(30°) = 50 * √3 / 2 = 43.3 N, resolving the force.
