Question

A force 10N is acting along at an angle 150° with the +ve x axis.The x and y components are??

Answer 1

Here the x component is given by 10 cos 150° and the y component is given by 10 sin 150°.

Hence x component is,

10 cos 150°

= 10 × (- √3) / 2

= - 5√3 N

And y component is,

10 sin 150°

= 10 × 1 / 2

= 5 N
