A block is pushed forward along a frictionless horizontal surface using a handle inclined at $40$ above the horizontal. The force pushing the block is $500N$ along the handle.

Draw a suitable diagram showing the force in the handle, and its horizontal and vertical components, and use trigonometry to calculate the force parallel to the horizontal surface.

What is the force in a direction perpendicular to the surface?

If the mass of the block is $50kg,$ what will be the acceleration horizontally?
