resolved into independent components at right angles to each other. A horizontal force pointing northeast can therefore be split into two forces, one pointing

that point. Conversely, a direction, plane, or surface is said to be horizontal (or leveled) if it is everywhere perpendicular to the vertical direction

horizontal plane, the centripetal force on the object is supplied by the tension of the rope. The rope example is an example involving a 'pull' force

slip angle. A tire can generate horizontal force where it meets the road surface by the mechanism of slip. That force is represented in the diagram by

a board, holds directly onto a wing. It generates both upward force and horizontal force which can be used for propulsion and thus moves the board across

as previously obtained. However, it is not possible to satisfy the horizontal force equation unless Fh = 0. Descriptively, a statically determinate structure

the maximum horizontal force developed should be proportional to the vertical load on the tire. In practice, the maximum horizontal force Fy that can

alters the rudder's orientation, away from vertical, reducing the horizontal force which water can apply as it flows past the rudder. In extreme cases

the horizontal components of tension on either side can both be approximated by a constant T {\displaystyle T} , for which the net horizontal force is

In automotive engineering, drawbar pull is the amount of horizontal force available to a vehicle at the drawbar for accelerating or pulling a load. Drawbar
