Question

A force of 10N acting at an angle of 30 degree with the y-axis its vertical components?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\orange{\boxed{5\:N}}$

Explanation:

On a 2 dimensional Cartesian plane we can apply the trigonometric ratio sinθ=opposite/hypotenuse where, θ is the angle of 30 degrees, the x-component is the side opposite to the angle, and the hypotenuse is the 10 newton force. This can be observed by sketching a diagram onto a graph.

Therefore, solving for the x-component or “opposite”

opposite=sinθ*hypotenuse

=sin(30)*10N

=0.5*10N

=5N

Therefore the x-component has a magnitude of 5N
