Jason applies a force of 4.00 newtons to a sled at an angle 62.0 degrees from the ground. What is the component of force effective in pulling the sled horizontally along the ground?

If we consider that the surface wherein this box is located is frictionless in such a way that the friction does not affect its motion, we can calculate for the horizontal force by multiplying the force with the sine of the angle.

x-component of force = (4 N) x (sin 62°)

= 3.53 N
