Question

Force of 10N makes an angle of 30 with y-axis, its x-
component will be:

(a) 5N
(b) 8.66

Answer 1

Answer:

Force of 10 Newtons makes an angle of 30 with 30° with y-axis its X component will be 5 Newtons

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Since this force does make an angle of 30 ∘  with the y-axis we now have a 30 ∘  - 60 ∘−9 0 ∘  right triangle.

To find the x magnitude we take the sin of 30 ∘   ×  the force of 10N (hyp.) or sin 30 ∘  = x/10N ===> x = 10N ⋅ sin30 ∘  ===> x = 5 N
