Suppose a suitcase is pulled with a strap that makes an 30 d

Suppose a suitcase is pulled with a strap that makes an 30 degree angle with the horizontal. The magnitude of the force exerted on the suitcase is 42 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 60 degree instead of 30 degree? Is the vertical component of the force greater if the angle of the strap is 60 degree instead of 30 degree? (Type exact answers, using radicals as needed.) Is the horizontal component of the force greater if the angle of the strap is 60 degree instead of 30 degree? Yes No Is the vertical component of the force greater if the angle of the strap is 60 degree instead of 30 degree? No Yes

Solution

a)F=42cos30=36.4 lb b)No c)Yes
