What is Horizontal force: Definition and 104 Discussions

In astronomy, geography, and related sciences and contexts, a direction or plane passing by a given point is said to be vertical if it contains the local gravity direction at that point.

Conversely, a direction or plane is said to be horizontal if it is perpendicular to the vertical direction.
In general, something that is vertical can be drawn from up to down (or down to up), such as the y-axis in the Cartesian coordinate system.

    What is the magnitude of the horizontal force

    A block of mass 8.0 kg is on the verge of sliding down a 450 incline. What is the magnitude of the horizontal force F, if the coefficient of static friction between the block and the incline is 0.35? I'm really stuck...appreciate any help. Thanks!
