Question

can you plz check my answer....
With a force of 21 N, Lisa pulls a wagon with her little brother. The handle of the wagon makes a 15° angle with the ground as shown below.
Approximately what force will move the wagon vertically upwards? I think its 5.44 N

Answer 1

i got this by doing 21*sin15

Answer 2

You would be correct!

You took the vector component

\[21N \times \sin15 = 5.435\]

Or yes when rounding...5.44...good work! :)

ok thanks so much :)
