Question

A 25N force acts on x-axis, what is value of y-component
​

Answer 1

Given:-

• A 25N force acts on x-axis.

To Find:-

• The Value of Force On y-component

Solution:-

$F_x=25N$

We Know that,

Force is a vector Quantity,it has Both Direction as well as Magnitude.

Force Has 2 components in Two dimensional Cartesian

• $\vec{F_{x}}$ along x-axis
• $\vec{F_{y}}$ along y-axis

∴$\vec{F_{x}}$=$\vec{F }\cos(\theta)$

and

$\vec{F_{y}}$=$\vec{F} \sin(\theta)$

In the Question it is given that Net force is acting towards x-axis.

So, The Angle $\theta$ will be equal to 0.

$\therefore \: \vec {F_{y}}$=$\vec{F} \sin(\theta) = 25 \sin(0)$

And we Know that

$\sin(0) = 0$

So,

$\: \vec {F_{y}} = 25 \times 0 = 0$

∴The Value of Force on y-component is 0.
