A man is dragging a trunk up the loading ramp of a mover's truck. The ramp has a slope angle of 20.0 , and the man pulls upward with a force F of magnitude 385 N whose direction makes an angle of 30.0 with the ramp. (See the (Figure 1).) Figure1 of 1 A ramp extends upward and rightward from the ground to a truck. A man pulls a trunk to the right up the ramp using a straight rope. The ramp makes an angle of 20.0 degrees with the horizontal. Force F acting on the trunk along the rope is directed upward and to the right making an angle of 30.0 degrees with the ramp. Part A Find the horizontal component of the force F . Your answer should be positive if the force is to the right, negative if the force is to the left. Express your answer in newtons.
