Understanding the Magnitude of T in Free Body Forces

[Scippi]

I)State the magnitude of the horizontal component of T
II)Calculate the magnitude of T

That was the question but i don't know what the difference between the magnitude of the horizontal component of T and the magnitude of T is :( could someone shed some light on this? xD

It's question 5 on the sheet attached btw

Thanks in advance :D

Hi, Scippi, welcome to the Forums! I can't open your file, but T is a vector, inclined at some angle. Do you know how to calculate the horizontal component of a vector? The magnitude of this horizontal component is its quantity in the x direction, whereas the magnitude of T is its quantity in the direction of that vector.
