Question

find the components fx and fy​

Answer 1

Answer:

Being a vector , a force can be represented by its components like any vector. One of the main advantage of resolving forces into their components, is that it is easy to add them, to scalar multiply them, etc.

If |F| is the magnitude and θ is the angle between the positive direction of the x-axis and the force F, then the components Fx and Fy are given by

Fx = |F| cosθ and Fy = |F| sinθ

Hence F may be written in terms of its components as follows

F = (Fx , Fy) = (|F| cosθ , |F| sinθ)
