Question

A vector is R = 5î + 6j, write the magnitudes of its horizontal and vertical components?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let Vector is R,

∴ Vertical Component V=Rsin(θ) .......1

Horizontal Component H=Rcos(θ) .......2

Given that V=H,

Divide the equations 1 by 2,

⇒

cos(θ)

sinθ)

=

H

V

⇒tan(θ)=1,

∴θ=45
