Question

A force of 20n is inclined to the x axis at an angle 60.calculate x and y component of the force

Answer 1

The x ad y components of force are Fx  = -19.04 N and Fy = -6.08 N

Explanation:

Given Data:

Force "F" = 20 N

Angle "θ" = 60°

We need to find the x and y components of the force. The force is inclined at an angle of 60 degrees.

The horizontal component of force is give by:

Fx = FCosθ

Fx = 20Cos60°  = 20 x -0.952

Fx  = -19.04 N

The vertical component of force is give by

Fy = Fsinθ

Fy = 20sin60°

Fy = 20 x -0.304

Fy = -6.08 N

As both components of force are negative the force lies in 3rd quadrant.
