Question

find the perpendicular components of a force of 50 N making an angle of 30with x axis​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Forces are vectors and so can obey the standard geometric rules (assuming we have a simple spacetime and geometry)

Fx=F0cos θ

Fy=F0sin θ

Here F0=10N and θ=30∘

You can convince yourself of this because if the angle of the slope was 0, the x force would be 10 and the y force would be 0 which makes sense.

So in this case,

Fx=10cos30∘≈8.66N

Fy=10sin30∘=5N
