The force is not constant in magnitude. It increases from 0 (at x=0). You'll need to use integration.warnexus said:

Double check that arithmetic.
To find the x component using trigonometry, you can use the formula x = r * cos(theta), where r is the magnitude of the vector and theta is the angle it makes with the horizontal axis.
Yes, you can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the x component if you have the magnitude of the vector and the angle it makes with the horizontal axis. Simply use the formula x = sqrt(r^2 - y^2), where r is the magnitude of the vector and y is the y component.
Yes, it is possible to find the x component without knowing the angle if you have the magnitude of the vector and the y component. You can use the formula x = sqrt(r^2 - y^2), where r is the magnitude of the vector and y is the y component.
Yes, you can use vector addition to find the x component if you have the x components of two or more vectors. Simply add the x components together to get the x component of the resultant vector.
Yes, there are other methods to find the x component, such as using the dot product of two vectors or using the law of cosines. It is important to choose the method that is most appropriate for the given problem.
