Question

A vector having magnitude 100 unit makes an angle 60° with the horizontal. calculate it's horizontal and vertical component?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$vertical = 50 \sqrt{3} \\ horizontal \: = 50$

Explanation:

If you know the concept of resolution of vectors than you can easily solve it.

Refer the image provided above

$x = k \sin( \alpha ) \\ y = k \cos( \alpha )$

On substitution you will get

$x = 100 \times \sin(60 ) \\ y = 100 \times \cos(60)$

After calculation

$x = 50 \sqrt{3} \\ y = 50$

Hope this will help u
