Calculating useful force or force at an angle

[QUOTE="richard9678, post: 4504531, member: 487795"] [h2]Homework Statement [/h2] I don't understand my textbook. [h2]Homework Equations[/h2] F[SUB]h[/SUB] = F[SUB]a[/SUB] Cos θ Where F[SUB]a[/SUB] is some pulling force applied, in-between horizontal and vertical. Where F[SUB]h[/SUB] is force in the horizontal. [h2]The Attempt at a Solution[/h2] Intuitively, if the angle of the force applied is at 45°, then the force in the horizontal and vertical is the same, and half of F[SUB]a[/SUB]. Cos θ for 45° is 0.707. I was expecting 0.5. What am I getting wrong? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
