50/sin 30

wait i dont get it?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

by applying 50N at an angle of 30 degrees, the sled is sliding horizontally, right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

so, if we apply the same force vertically, the slide will move up vertically

so, we need to calculate the value of "x" for which the vertical component becomes "50"
