The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to break down the force exerted by the child into its horizontal and vertical components. The force applied is 80 N at an angle of 40 degrees to the ground. ### Step 1: Identify the components of the force The force can be resolved into two components: - Horizontal component (F_horizontal) which tends to move the stone along the ground. - Vertical component (F_vertical) which tends to lift the stone. ### Step 2: Calculate the horizontal component The horizontal component can be calculated using the cosine function: \[ F_{\text{horizontal}} = F \cdot \cos(\theta) \] Where: - \( F = 80 \, \text{N} \) (the force applied) - \( \theta = 40^\circ \) (the angle with the ground) Plugging in the values: \[ F_{\text{horizontal}} = 80 \cdot \cos(40^\circ) \] Using a calculator: \[ F_{\text{horizontal}} = 80 \cdot 0.7660 \approx 61.28 \, \text{N} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the vertical component The vertical component can be calculated using the sine function: \[ F_{\text{vertical}} = F \cdot \sin(\theta) \] Plugging in the values: \[ F_{\text{vertical}} = 80 \cdot \sin(40^\circ) \] Using a calculator: \[ F_{\text{vertical}} = 80 \cdot 0.6428 \approx 51.42 \, \text{N} \] ### Final Answers: (i) The effective value of the pull tending to move the stone along the ground is approximately **61.28 N**. (ii) The force tending to lift the stone is approximately **51.42 N**. ---
