Answer:
See the explanation below.
Explanation:
The force is a vector therefore we can decompose the force into components x & y. as we need the horizontal component of the force, we must use the cosine function of the angle.
[tex]F_{1x}=30.8*cos(20)\\F_{1x}=28.94[N]\\F_{2x}=34.3*cos(20)\\\\F_{2x}= 32.23[N][/tex]
