Any vector can be resolved into a horizontal and a vertical component. If →R is a vector, then the horizontal component of →R is →Rx and the vertical component is →Ry. When resolving into components that are parallel to the x- and y-axes we are always dealing with a right-angled triangle.

In two dimensions, a force can be resolved into two mutually perpendicular components whose vector sum is equal to the given force. The components are often taken to be parallel to the x- and y-axes. Let F be a force, of magnitude F with components X and Y in the directions of the x- and y-axes, respectively.

The magnitude of the component of a force in a direction at 90° to its own line of action is therefore always equal to zero. This is why it is often useful to resolve a force into its vertical and horizontal components: these two components can then be considered as two independent forces.

The more horizontally aligned the cable is, the more it will pull horizontally. Thus, a decrease in the angle will increase the horizontal component of tension and an increase in the angle will decrease the horizontal component of tension.

As the angle is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. The explanation of this relates to the components that we have been drawing. As the angle increases, the component of force parallel to the incline increases and the component of force perpendicular to the incline decreases.

All strings were tuned to the same pitch, so according to the relationship between tension, pitch, mass per unit length, and speaking length, the strings with the longer scale lengths will be under greater tension than the shorter ones.

Does tension increase with length? No. Tension is defined as the force attempting to pull apart a length of solid material. The force can be measured at either end of the material, where it will be equal but of opposite direction.

1. T1 sin(a) + T2 sin(b) = m*g ———-(1) Resolving the forces in x-direction: The forces acting in x-direction are the components of tension forces T1 and T2 in opposite directions.
2. T1cos(a) = T2cos(b)———————(2) Solving equations (1) and (2), we get the formula for tension.
3. T2 = [T1cos(a)]/cos(b)]

Friction is a force that slows down moving objects. If you roll a ball across a shaggy rug, you can see that there are lumps and bumps in the rug that make the ball slow down. The rubbing, or friction, between the ball and the rug is what makes the ball stop rolling.

Basically, there are two types of forces, contact forces, and non-contact forces.

There are 2 types of forces, contact forces and act at a distance force. Every day you are using forces. Force is basically push and pull. When you push and pull you are applying a force to an object.

They are in no particular order gravity, electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force and the strong nuclear force. Fifth?

You’ve heard about the gluon, the W and Z bosons, the photon and the graviton. And you know that this means that there are four fundamental forces: the strong and weak nuclear forces, electromagnetism, and gravity. Easy peasy. However, the reality is actually a lot murkier: Not all forces are independent.

The strongest intermolecular force is hydrogen bonding, which is a particular subset of dipole-dipole interactions that occur when a hydrogen is in close proximity (bound to) a highly electronegative element (namely oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine).

Fundamental force, also called fundamental interaction, in physics, any of the four basic forces—gravitational, electromagnetic, strong, and weak—that govern how objects or particles interact and how certain particles decay.
