1. Two forces, whose resultant is 100N, are perpendicular to each other. If one of them makes an
angle of 600 with the resultant, calculate its magnitude. ( sin 600 = 0.8660, cos 600 = 0.5000)
2. A boy pulls his toy on a smooth horizontal surface with a rope inclined at 600 to the horizontal. If the
effective force pulling the toy along the horizontal surface is 5N, calculate the tension in the rope.
3. A boy pulling a load of 150N with a string inclined at an angle of 300 to the horizontal. If the tension
1 √3
in the string is 105N, the force tending to lift the load off the ground is: (sin 300 = , cos 300 =
