Answer:
The horizontal component of force is 1.99 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Force = 2.8 Newtons.
The attached image shows the arrangement.
Angle made by the water stream with the ground
[tex]\theta = 30^\circ[/tex]
The horizontal component is given by:
[tex]|F|\cos \theta\\=2.3\cos(30)\\\\=2.3 \times \dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}\\\\=1.99[/tex]
Thus, the horizontal component of force is 1.99 pounds.
